Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Opto-Mechatronics takes an integrated approach to combine the fields of optical and mechatronics engineering. The authors provide a multidisciplinary view of engineering systems as a result of the fusion of optical elements with mechatronics elements from the design stage. They explore how the integration of opto-mechatronics components can create new value and functions for the engineering systems under consideration. In the final section, practical opto-mechatronic systems are richly illustrated to aid readers in understanding how effectively opto-mechatronic technology can be utilized to produce new functionalities and enhance performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Major Text of Emerging field, April 12, 2006

By	P. Nagy "revreader" (Chapel Hill, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Opto-Mechatronics by Hyungsuck Cho (CRC) now includes errata sheet, In recent years, optical technology has been increasingly incorporated into mechatronic technology, and vice versa. The consequence of the technology marriage has led to the evolution of most engineered products, machines, and systems towards high precision, downsizing, multifunctionalities and multicomponents embedded characteristics. This integrated engineering field is termed optomechatronic technology. The technology is the synergistic combination of optical, mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering, and therefore is multidisciplinary in nature, thus requiring the need to view this from somewhat different aspects and through an integrated approach. However, not much systematic effort for nurturing students and engineers has been made in the past by stressing the importance of the multitechnology integration.
The goal of this book is for it to enable the reader to learn how the multiple technologies can be integrated to create new and added value and function for the engineering systems under consideration. To facilitate this objective, the material brings together the fundamentals and underlying concepts of this optomechatronic field into one text. The book therefore presents the basic elements of the engineering fields ingredient to optomechatronics, while putting emphasis on the integrated approach. It has several distinct features as a text which make it differ somewhat from most textbooks or monographs in that it attempts to provide the background, definition, and characteristics of optomechatronics as a newly defined, important field of engineering, an integrated view of various disciplines, view of system-oriented approach, and a combined view of macro-micro worlds, the combination of which links to the creative design and manufacture of a wide range of engineering products and systems.
To this end a variety of practical system examples adopting optomechatronic principles are illustrated and analyzed with a view to identifying the nature of optomechatronic technology. The subject matter is therefore wide ranging and includes optics, machine vision, fundamental of mechatronics, feedback control, and some application aspects of micro-opto-electromechanical system (MOEMs). With the review of these fundamentals, the book shows how the elements of optical, mechanical, electronic, and microprocessors can be effectively put together to create the fundamental functionalities essential for the realization of optomechatronic technology. Emphasizing the interface between the relevant disciplines involving the integration, it derives a number of basic optomechatronic units. The book then goes on in the final part to deal, from the integrated perspectives, with the details of practical optomechatronic systems composed of and operated by such basic components.
The introduction presents some of the motivations and history of the optomechatronic technology by reviewing the technological evolution of optoelectronics and mechatronics. It then describes the definition and fundamental concept of the technology that are derivable from the nature of practical optomechatronic systems.
Chapter 2 reviews the fundamentals of optics in some detail. It covers geometric optics and wave optics to provide the basis for the fusion of optics and mechatronics.
Chapter 3 treats the overview of machine vision covering fundamentals of image acquisition, image processing, edge detection, and camera calibration. This technology domain is instrumental to generation of optomechatronic technology.
Chapter 4 presents basic mechatronic elements such as sensor, signal conditioning, actuators and the fundamental concepts of feedback control. This chapter along with Chapter 2 outlines the essential parts that make optomechatronics possible.
Chapter 5 provides basic considerations for the integration of optical, mechanical, and electrical signals, and the concept of basic functional modules that can create optomechatronic integration and the interface for such integration.
In Chapter 6, basic optomechatronic functional units that can be generated by integration are treated in detail. The units are very important to the design of optomechatronic devices and systems, since these produce a variety of functionalities such as actuation, sensing, autofocusing, acoustic-optic modulation, scanning and switching visual feedback control.
Chapter 7 represents a variety of practical systems of optomechatronic nature that obey the fundamental concept of the optomechatronic integration. Among them are laser printers, atomic force microscopes (AFM), optical storage disks, confocal microscopes, digital micromirror devices (DMD) and visual tracking systems.
The main intended audiences of this book are the lower levels of graduate students, academic and industrial researchers. In the case of undergraduate students, it is recommended for the upper level since it covers a variety of disciplines, which, though fundamental, involve various different physical phenomena. On a professional level, this material will be of interest to engineering graduates and research/field engineers who function in interdisciplinary work environments in the fields of design and manufacturing of products, devices, and systems.
