Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pursuit of optical control through advanced mechatronics systems represents a cutting-edge approach that seamlessly merges optics and mechatronics to achieve unparalleled precision in optical manipulation. This spans a diverse range of applications. For instance, in the domain of laser systems, it assumes a pivotal role facilitating indispensable functions such as laser beam steering and shaping, which are critical in fields like laser cutting, material processing, and medical applications. In the realm of imaging applications, particularly in microscopy, telescopes, and camera systems, exacting optical control is instrumental in ensuring utmost image clarity and precision. Within the astronomy community, telescopes and observatories reap substantial benefits from mechatronic control, notably in the context of Active Optics and Adaptive Optics, affording them the capability to track celestial objects with unparalleled precision. Furthermore, the versatility of those techniques extends to other domains, encompassing optical communications and the development of biomedical devices, where the fusion of optics and mechatronics engenders transformative progress.
The objective of this Special Issue is to delve into the interdisciplinary intersection of mechatronics and optics, shedding light on the synergistic potential of mechanical, electrical, and optical technologies in achieving precision in optical manipulation. We aim to collect a coherent ensemble of original articles and reviews emphasizing the following topics:
- Innovative mechatronic systems for optical control
- High-precision positioning and automation
- Advanced laser systems with precise mechatronics
- Mechatronic systems for imaging application
- Novel control strategy design for Active Optics and Adaptive Optics
