History of MOEMS
During 1991-1993, Dr. M. Edward Motamedi, a former Rockwell International innovator in the areas of both Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Micro-optics, used internally the acronym of MOEMS for Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems. This was to distinguish between Optical MEMS and MOEMS, where Optical MEMS could include bulk optics but MOEMS is truly based on microtechnology where MOEMS devices are batched processed exactly like integrated circuits, but this is not true in most cases for Optical MEMS.
In 1993, Dr. Motamedi officially introduced MOEMS for the first time, as the powerful combination of MEMS and Micro-optics, in an invited talk at the SPIE Critical Reviews of Optical Science and Technology conference in San Diego. In this talk Dr. Motamedi introduced the figure bellow, for showing that MOEMS is the interaction of three major microtechnologies; namely Micro-optics, Micromechanics, and Microelectronics.

Famous quotes containing the words history of and/or history:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
