ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we deal with microlens array applications where the major feature will be the ability to precisely fabricate and position microlenses in two dimensions. Linear arrays are a special important case, requiring no less precision. We will try to cover the important lens array applications that include the various lens fabrication techniques discussed in preceding chapters. In the description and discussion of these applications, we shall try to make clear why one fabrication method might be better suited-over others for a particular application.
