Novel tunable achromatic lenses
20.12.2022 -
In cooperation with researchers of the University of Freiburg, we have published a new type of tunable achromatic lenses in optics express.
We combined two of our active glass-piezo composite membranes in different configurations in combination with hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon optical fluids and suitable compliant elastomer structures. As a result, these lenses can actively control the focal power, the chromatic focal shift and the spherical aberration at the same time, with a response time of approximately half a millisecond.
