Tunable microfluidic optical devices with an integrated microlens array
Interest in dynamically tuning light has attracted great attention to the fabrication of tunable microlens arrays. Here we discuss the fabrication and characterization of a simple, robust, yet tunable microfluidic optical device with an integrated microlens array. The microfluidic device with a desired channel structure was micromachined on a polycarbonate plate with a resolution of up to 100 μ...

متن کاملTunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated with microfluidic network.
An elastomer-based tunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated on top of a microfluidic network is fabricated using soft lithographic techniques. The simultaneous control of the focal length of all the microlenses composing the elastomeric array is accomplished by pneumatically regulating the pressure of the microfluidic network. A focal length tuning range of hundreds of microns to severa...
متن کاملCompletely integrated, thermo-pneumatically tunable microlens.
An integrated tunable microlens, whose focal length may be varied over a range of 3 to 15 mm with total power consumption below 250 mW, is presented. Using thermo-pneumatic actuation, this adaptive optical microsystem is completely integrated and requires no external pressure controllers for operation. The lens system consists of a liquid-filled cavity bounded by a distensible polydimethyl-silo...
متن کاملDigitally Tunable Microfluidic Optical Fiber Devices - Microelectromechanical Systems, Journal of
This communication introduces a digital design for tunable microfluidic optical fiber devices. In these systems, multiple, independently controlled microfluidic plugs are pumped into or out of overlap with a fiber structure to modulate its transmission characteristics. The devices described here use eight plugs, eight electrowetting pumps and a corresponding set of molded planar recirculating m...
