Dynamic piezoelectric MEMS-based optical metasurfaces

Dynamic piezoelectric MEMS-based optical metasurfaces

Dynamic optical metasurfaces provide complex dynamic 2D wavefront manipulations that can be used in reconfigurable and adaptive optical networks and systems. The Microoptics group at SINTEF MiNaLab published an article in Science Advances together with the Nanooptics...

piezoMEMS 3D camera for space applications

piezoMEMS 3D camera for space applications

The combination of thin-film piezoelectric microsystems (piezoMEMS) and micro-optics offers a unique platform for making highly reliable miniature 3D cameras suitable for space operation like e.g. future Mars rovers. Using SINTEF MiNaLab's patented piezoMEMS...

Have you heard about piezoMEMS technology?

Have you heard about piezoMEMS technology?

It may sound futuristic, but most of us are already using this technology without really being aware of it. In fact, it’s all about small mechanical systems containing components well under half a millimetre in size. Norwegian researchers are advancing this technology...
