An endoscopic system adopting a liquid crystal lens with an electrically tunable depth-of-field.
Conventional endoscopic systems consisting of several solid lenses suffer from a fixed and limited depth-of-field (DOF). For practical applications, conventional endoscopes mechanically change the distance between the solid lenses of a lens module in order to change the focusing plane and DOF to see clearly in a scene. In this paper, we demonstrate an electrically tunable endoscopic system adop...
متن کاملTunable - Focus Liquid Crystal Lens
Since liquid crystal (LC) was proposed for making a tunable lens, the LC based zoom lens has been studied extensively for machine vision, photonics, information processing and eye glasses. Various approaches for making LC tunable lenses exists. Among them three methods are presented in this seminar: flat LC spherical lenses, microlenses made of nanosized polymer dispersed LC and Fresnel type sw...
متن کاملAn electrically tunable-focusing liquid crystal lens with a low voltage and simple electrodes.
An electrically tunable focusing LC lens with a low voltage and simple planar electrodes is demonstrated. The inhomogeneous electric field of the LC lens without any hole-patterned-electrode is generated by using an embedded polymeric layer with a gradient distribution of dielectric constants (or relative permittivity). LC directors in the LC layer experience spatially inhomogeneous voltages ev...
متن کاملElectrically tunable Yb-doped fiber laser based on a liquid crystal photonic bandgap fiber device.
We demonstrate electrical tunability of a fiber laser using a liquid crystal photonic bandgap fiber. Tuning of the laser is achieved by combining the wavelength filtering effect of a tunable liquid crystal photonic bandgap fiber device with an ytterbium-doped photonic crystal fiber. We fabricate an all-spliced laser cavity based on the liquid crystal photonic bandgap fiber mounted on a silicon ...
متن کاملElectrically tunable lens based on a dual-frequency nematic liquid crystal.
We report on an electrically controlled liquid-crystal-based variable optical lens filled with a dual-frequency nematic material. The lens design employs a hole-patterned electrode structure in a flat nematic cell. In order to decrease the lens switching time we maximize the dielectric torque by using a dual-frequency nematic material that is aligned at an angle approximately 45 degrees with re...
