SPP 1337: Active Micro-Optics

在这个优先计划的技术，材料和装配技术，这将允许制造光学微系统具有可控的可调性将得到发展。微系统工程的最新发展，特别是新型材料的加工和混合集成，将允许构思新型可变微光学元件和系统。优先方案的总目标是为可调微光学建立科学基础和技术能力。可调微光学的新概念和创新概念的发展将需要融合来自不同领域的新思想和概念，如材料、光学设计、光学制造、微力学、微流体以及组装和封装技术。在这个领域特别感兴趣的是软物质领域，其中光学质量的材料可以通过机械，电或磁刺激变形。这项集中的研究工作有以下总体科学目标：

In this Priority Programme the technologies, materials and assembly techniques, which will allow the fabrication of optical micro systems with controllable tunability will be developed. Recent developments in micro systems engineering, in particular the machining and hybrid integration of new types of materials, will allow new types of variable micro-optical components and systems to be conceived. The overall goal of the Priority Programme is the establishment of the scientific basis for as well as the technical capabilities of tunable micro-optics. Development of new and innovative concepts for tunable micro-optics will require the fusion of new ideas and concepts from fields as diverse as materials, optical design, optics fabrication, micro-mechanics, micro-fluidics and assembly and packaging technology. Of particular interest in this area is the field of soft matter, in which materials of optical quality may be deformed using mechanical, electrical or magnetic stimulation. This concentrated research effort has the following overall scientific goals:
