Focus Tunable Lenses
Optotune is a leading supplier of focus tunable lenses for diverse applications. Whether electrically or mechanically actuated, the advantages of tunable lenses over traditional optics are striking. Optotune's lenses can be taylored to your specific demands in terms of size, tuning range, transmission range or speed. Tell us your requirements and we will be happy to assess the feasibility.
Advantages
A change in lens radius of several micrometers can have the same optical effect as moving the entire lens several centimeters. Optical systems can be designed more compact, oftentimes with less lenses and usually with less or no translational movement. Accordingly, there is no more need for expensive mechanical actuators. Less movement also leads to a more robust design, which can be completely closed so that no dust can enter. Furthermore, the materials employed are lighter than glass, saving overall weight. Less movement and weight also means less power consumption and that the response time of systems with tunable lenses can be very low, in the order of milliseconds. Another advantage becomes obvious during production. The fact that less optical parts are moved combined with the tunability of the radius during operation results in reduced tolerance sensitivity and thus higher yield rates.
To summarize, these are the five main advantages of focus tunable lenses over traditional optics:
● Compact design
● Less mechanics
● Fast response
● Low power
● Less tolerance sensitivity
