A novel adaptive mechanical-wetting lens for visible and near infrared imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an adaptive mechanical-wetting lens with a concentric reservoir to reduce image aberrations and overcome the gravity effect. This lens adopts liquid pressure to change the interface between two immiscible liquids which, in turn, changes the focal length of the resultant liquid lens. Good optical performance, high resolution, and a wide dynamic range of both positive and negative optical power are achieved. Since no PDMS is employed, such lenses can extend their working range to infrared region by choosing proper liquids.

Ga-La-S-Se glass for visible and thermal imaging
Chalcogenide glasses are emerging as important enabling materials for low-cost infrared imaging by virtue of their transparency in the key short-wave infrared (SWIR) to long-wave infrared (LWIR) bands and the ability to be mass produced and molded into near-net shape lenses. In this paper, we introduce a new family of chalcogenide glasses, which offer visible as well as infrared transmission an...
متن کاملMulti-spectral imaging with infrared sensitive organic light emitting diode
Commercially available near-infrared (IR) imagers are fabricated by integrating expensive epitaxial grown III-V compound semiconductor sensors with Si-based readout integrated circuits (ROIC) by indium bump bonding which significantly increases the fabrication costs of these image sensors. Furthermore, these typical III-V compound semiconductors are not sensitive to the visible region and thus ...
