Project description
Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components
Micro-optics is a generic technology that allows the manipulation of light and the management of photons with "micron"- and "sub-micron"-scale structures and components. Micro-optics is therefore the corner-stone enabling technology to interface the macroscopic world we live in with the microscopic world of opto- and nano-electronic data processing circuits. It is recognized as the key-link between photonics and nano-electronics, the two dominating information technologies in tomorrow's society. This Network of Excellence on Micro-Optics NEMO aims at providing Europe with a complete Micro-Optics food-chain, by setting up centers for Optical Modelling and Design; Measurement and Instrumentation; Mastering, Prototyping and Replication; Hybrid Integration and Packaging;Reliability and Standardization. A first objective of the NEMO network is to make these service and technology centres accessible to academic research institutes, SME's, and large companies to enhance the competitiveness of photonic-based products and the durable embedding of novel photonic functionalities in a myriad of products. A second objective is to use these service and technology centres to support the network's six long-term application-oriented research topics on micro-optics: Mid-Infra-Red micro-optics, Sub-wavelength structured optical surfaces, Platforms for optical MEMS, Non-conventional micro-optical elements, Micro-optical structures for sensing, and Micro-optic interconnects. These long-term research topics aim at widening the scope of present-day research and at introducing novel concepts and components, thus creating new photonic functionalities applicable in virtually any region of the optical spectrum and beyond. With its long-term research NEMO is targeting a wealth of novel optical and photonic applications to increase the quality of daily life.
