Research And Markets: Examine This Analysis Of Optical MEMS Applications For Non Telecom Markets Today.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- The report OMEMS OMEMS Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School (US Army)  describes all applications of optical MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s.  in markets others than telecommunications:

- Display (DMD (1) (Digital Micromirror Device) See DLP.

(2) (Digital Multi-layer Disk) See high-def DVD formats.
)

- IR imagers

- Spectrometers

- Bar code readers See bar code scanner.  

- Maskless lithography In maskless lithography, light used to expose the photosensitive emulsion (or photoresist) is not projected from, or transmitted through, a photomask. Instead, most commonly, the radiation is focused to a narrow beam.  

- Adaptive optics

- Automotive head up display

Market figures period are given for the 2003 - 2008 time.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c12668) has announced the addition of Analysis Of Optical MEMS Applications For Non Telecom Markets to their offering

We forecast that market to be multiplied by 4 between 2003 and 2008 to reach more than $ 3 billion

At the end of the 90's, the promise of large volume markets has driven the developments of optical MEMS for fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber  telecommunication applications. However, the sudden crisis in 2001 has changed the landscape, as most of the companies developing or manufacturing

optical MEMS for telecom have shut down.

Historically, optical MEMS have been successfully used for TV and projection systems (this is the case of TI DLPs' technology). And nowadays, following the telecom downturn, some companies are succeeding to explore several new applications that will widespread the use of optical MEMS.
