A Ray Transfer Matrix Model for an Elastomeric Lens

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Ray Transfer Matrix (RTM) of a variable-focus elastomeric fluidic lens is explored and modeled in this paper. A HeNe (543.45nm wavelength) laser is incident on the tunable lens and the effective focal length changes are explored based on this model. Results show that there are two possible focal lengths and that focal lengths are independent of the elastomer thickness.
