Abstract

Variable focus lenses are capable of dynamically varying their focal lengths. The focal length is varied by adjusting the curvature of the refractive surface and the media on both sides of the lens. The dynamic response is one of the most important criteria to determine the performance of variable focus lens. In this work, we investigated critical factors that affect the dynamic response of liquid-filled variable focus lens with a large aperture size. Based on a theoretical analysis of a circular disk representative of a deformable surface, we found that the dynamic response is significantly influenced by the diameter, thickness, and stiffness of the disk because these factors determine its first natural frequency. We also studied the dynamic response of elastomer-based liquid-filled variable focus lens prototype with different aperture sizes (20 and 30 mm) by using experiments and we found that the lens with the smaller aperture size had an excellent dynamic response.
