Spherical aberration free liquid-filled tunable lens with variable thickness membrane

Adaptive liquid Filled Membrane Lens

Adaptive optics control using liquid filled membrane lens is based on the principle of deflection of polymeric membrane. Controlled deflection in membrane leads to controlled focal length. This enhances the focus tuning ability of the system at the same time make optical system compact and economical. The adjustment of fluid pressure helps to toggle between different field of view at the same t...

In vitro strehl ratios with spherical, aberration-free, average, and customized spherical aberration-correcting intraocular lenses.

PURPOSE To determine in vitro image qualities of artificial eyes achieved with spherical, aberration-free, average spherical aberration-correcting, and customized spherical aberration-correcting IOLs in centered, decentered, and tilted positions. METHODS The in vitro performance of these IOL models was determined by optical bench measurements. The experimental setup included a laser light sou...

Tunable - Focus Liquid Crystal Lens

Since liquid crystal (LC) was proposed for making a tunable lens, the LC based zoom lens has been studied extensively for machine vision, photonics, information processing and eye glasses. Various approaches for making LC tunable lenses exists. Among them three methods are presented in this seminar: flat LC spherical lenses, microlenses made of nanosized polymer dispersed LC and Fresnel type sw...

Variable-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...
