Take for instance: Steadily shrinking semiconductor structures allow for digital systems of higher performance, modern optical surgery is key for a broad treatment of a population, which is getting older and older, and air or space borne high-performance optical components are vital for environmental surveillance with optical communication at a daily growing data rate. Prerequisites behind all these applications are typically very precise optical components like beam splitters, mirrors, lenses or polarization optics, which have to be produced in high quantity and very high quality.[[BR]] [[BR]]In the context of this talk the requirements for those components and the manufacturing steps will be presented. In some outstanding cases even exotic ideas and technologies are necessary, which will be explained by practical examples.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2020S1/2020-03-13_SwissOptic.pdf Slides: English] [[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
