This book presents the area of Mechanophotonics and the process of fabricating organic photonic integrated circuits (OPICs) using optical crystals and polymer particles through atomic force. It provides the latest developments in focused ion beam milling techniques applied to organic optical crystals to construct organic photonic integrated circuits. After an introduction, the photonic components of OPICs will be presented as well as their properties. Mechanical properties of organic optical crystals are then discussed followed by the mechanical micromanipulation of organic crystals. Last, the author covers the micromanufacturing of organic crystal photonic components using focused-ion beam milling.
