Abstract :
The optimal design of the opto modules is a trade off between additional events. In order to make the trade off; deep insight in the underlying technology for the different events is needed. The situation resembles the effort to win a penthalon sports event. It is envisaged that micromechanics will be used to overcome several of the obstacles. however, when new technology is developed, there are several constraints for it to be industrially acceptable.
