Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of a November 1996 conference, with sections on theory and design, materials and processes, components and MEMS, fiber sensors, measurements, and microsystems and applications. Specific topics include diffractive optics theory, holographic optical elements, materials and fabrication technologies of diffractive optical elements, micromechanical measurements, and the use of Cerenkov radiation to characterize optical waveguides. Final papers survey practical applications of diffractive optics and microoptics in fields including chemical detection, optical measurement, spectral analysis, velocimetry, and medicine.
