8. A First-Principle Investigation of the Optical Properties for a Single Sessile Liquid Lens Formed by the Surface Tension and Gravitational Effects Between Water and Air
Yifan Bu
Liquid lens is an emerging technology that can alter its focal length by changing its surface curvature, which could be used to replace the bulky mechanical structure of the zoom and focal modules in the traditional solid-state imaging system. The potential application of liquid lens technology is mainly compact optical systems, such as smartphones or CCTV system. In this project, the optical performance of a multi-curved liquid lens system will be investigated theoretically, numerically and experimentally. First-order aberrations such as spherical aberration and chromatic dispersion could be analyzed by expressing the surface curvature and simulating in optical imaging algorithm.
