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.
