Variable-Focus Liquid Lens Integrated with a Planar Electromagnetic Actuator
In this paper, we design, fabricate and characterize a new electromagnetically actuated variable-focus liquid lens which consists of two polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrates, a SU-8 substrate, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, a permanent magnet and a planar electromagnetic actuator. The performance of this liquid lens is tested from four aspects including surface profiling, optical ...
متن کاملVariable-focus liquid lens.
A variable-focus liquid lens using a transparent flat cell is demonstrated. The top substrate has an aperture which is sealed with a thin elastic membrane on the outer surface and the bottom aperture is sealed on the inner surface of the bottom substrate. By applying a pressure to the outer membrane inward causes the liquid to redistribute and swell the inner membrane outward which, in turn, fo...

Acknowledgements There are many who have made contributions, both directly and indirectly to the completion of this thesis. I would like to name a few. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor, Dr. Roy Featherstone, whose help has been enormous and whose enthusiasm has sparked my own in this wonderful work. His ideas and suggestions had frequently created jigsaw puzzles with ...
متن کاملVariable-focus liquid lens for miniature cameras
The meniscus between two immiscible liquids can be used as an optical lens. A change in curvature of this meniscus by electrowetting leads to a change in focal distance. It is demonstrated that two liquids in a tube form a self-centered lens with a high optical quality. The motion of the lens during a focusing action was studied by observation through the transparent tube wall. Finally, a minia...
متن کاملElectrowetting-Based Variable-Focus Lens for Miniature Systems
The meniscus between two immiscible liquids of different refractive indices can be used as a lens. A change in curvature of this meniscus by electrostatic control of the solid/liquid interfacial tension leads to a change in focal distance. It is demonstrated that two liquids in a tube form a self-centred variable-focus lens. The optical properties of this lens were investigated experimentally. ...
