Miniaturized tunable imaging system inspired by the human eye

Abstract

We demonstrate the combination of a tunable lens and tunable aperture in a compact imaging system whose structure is inspired by the human eye. The concept is based on innovative optical materials and tuning mechanisms including an optofluidic iris for a tunable aperture and an elastomer lens for focal length tuning. Wavefront and modulation transfer function analysis reveals a high imaging performance of both the individual elements and the complete system. Most significantly, the wavefront is not degraded (ΔPV<λ/10) when tuning the focal length (Δf=5.36%).
