Optomechatronics Fusion of Optical and Mechatronic Engineering

By Hyungsuck Cho Copyright 2006

    Representing an evolutionary leap, the integration of optical technologies into mechatronic systems adds a new dimension to an already multifaceted field. Optical elements enhance the functionality of mechatronics and in many cases introduce entirely new capabilities. Likewise, mechatronic elements bring the same synergistic effects to optical syst
