Optofluidic variable focus lenses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Here we propose optofluidic spherical microlenses that can change their focal distance by varying the refractive index of the liquid that composes them. These lenses are fabricated in the bulk of a polymeric mixture. Results of a characterization study of the profile of the lenses, the image forming capability, and the behavior of the focal distance as a function of the refractive index are presented. Ionic liquids are suggested as a source of liquids useful for fabricating this type of lens.
