Optofluidic compound microlenses made by emulsion techniques Article uri icon

abstract

  • Here we present a new method to make liquid lenses. It is based on the microfluidics method and involves the preparation of emulsions one drop at a time. Tests of lenses by image formation are presented. Experimental results are compared with results of an optical design program. We also present a new type of lens that we call a Compound Lens which consists of two spherical lenses, one inside the other. © 2010 Optical Society of America.
