GEL-CONTAINING ACTIVE FLUIDIC OPTICAL ELEMENT

A fluidic optical element includes a bilayer having a fluid layer and a gel layer directly overlying the fluid layer, and a primary electrode disposed over a surface of the bilayer. The geometry of an interface between the fluid layer and the gel layer and hence the optical response of the bilayer t...

More Information
Summary:A fluidic optical element includes a bilayer having a fluid layer and a gel layer directly overlying the fluid layer, and a primary electrode disposed over a surface of the bilayer. The geometry of an interface between the fluid layer and the gel layer and hence the optical response of the bilayer to incident light may be manipulated using the principle of dielectrophoresis.
