About
Thierry Camps is a leading figure in the field of micro-optics and photonic integration, with a core research focus on the design, fabrication, and packaging of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). His major contributions center on the development of innovative, high-precision techniques for beam shaping and collimation. Camps pioneered the use of self-aligned integrated polymer microlenses, demonstrating a method to fabricate lenses on patterned SU-8 pedestals directly atop VCSEL arrays. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2008 paper (24 citations), enables precise laser beam control without complex post-processing. Further advancing the field, he designed a cantilever-based microsystem for the controlled deposition of polymer droplets, allowing for the fabrication of refractive microlens arrays with exceptional uniformity and reproducibility. His research directly addresses critical challenges in optical interconnects and sensing, offering scalable solutions for high-performance VCSEL packaging. Through his work on robotized silicon-microcantilever arrays, Camps has established a robust platform for next-generation photonic devices, solidifying his reputation as an innovator in micro-optical system engineering.
