Abstract
New micro-optical devices are presented: a modulated thermal IR source and an electrical controllable micromirror for image formation with an adjustable focal length ranging from (infinity) down to 0.001 m. These integrable thermo-optical devices base on micromechanics and thin film technology. Device fabrication, the physical background, properties, advantages, limitations, especially size effects, and experimental examples are given.
