Abstract

A liquid tunable diffractive/refractive hybrid lens which combines the use of high precision diamond turning and soft lithography is developed in this work. This diffractive/refractive hybrid lens comprises a Fresnel lens and a tunable refractive lens automatically aligned during the fabrication process. Multiple PDMS hybrid lens devices can be fabricated from the diamond-turned master mould and AFM results show that the surface quality of the PDMS lenses meets the requirements for optical purposes. The hybrid lens is tested with a green laser (λ = 532nm) and experimental results demonstrate a tunability of more than 20mm.
