Optofluidics is a rapidly growing versatile branch of adaptive optics including a wide variety
of applications such as tunable beam shaping tools, mirrors, apertures, and lenses. In this …

Principles of Adaptive Optics describes the foundations, principles, and applications of
adaptive optics (AO) and its enabling technologies. This leading textbook addresses the …

An optical zoom imaging system that can vary the magnification factor without displacing the
object and the image plane has been widely used. Nonetheless, conventional optical zoom …

Imaging systems that exploit arrays of photodetectors in curvilinear layouts are attractive due
to their ability to match the strongly nonplanar image surfaces (ie, Petzval surfaces) that form …

Optofluidics, nominally the research area where optics and fluidics merge, is a relatively new
research field and it is only in the last decade that there has been a large increase in the …

Femtosecond laser (fs-laser) is unfavorable in applications for the fabrication of micro-optical
devices on hard materials owing to the problems of low fabrication efficiency and high …

This paper presents a novel multifunctional liquid lens (MLL) for miniature camera modules
integrated with smart devices such as smartphones and pads. MLL firstly offers concurrent …

Diffraction-limited deep focusing into biological tissue is challenging due to aberrations that
lead to a broadening of the focal spot. The diffraction limit can be restored by employing …

An integrated tunable microlens, whose focal length may be varied over a range of 3 to
15mm with total power consumption below 250mW, is presented. Using thermo-pneumatic …

Aberration is a long-standing problem of fixed focal lenses and a complicated lens set is
usually required to compensate for aberration. It becomes more challenging for tunable …
