Automated alignment for free-space optical systems based on micro-optical-electro-mechanical systems

The emerging technology of micro-optical-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) offer promise for automating the alignment of free-space optical systems, especially intra-computer optical interconnects. MOEMS-based microlenses and micromirrors have been fabricated for the purpose of providing initial system alignment and dynamic alignment.
