Liquid microlenses are attractive for adaptive optics because they offer the potential for both high speed actuation and parallelization into large arrays. Yet, in conventional designs, resonances of the liquid and the complexity of driving mechanisms and/or the device architecture have hampered a successful integration of both aspects. Here we present an array of up to 100 microlenses with synchronous modulation of the focal length at frequencies beyond 1 kHz using electrowetting. Our novel concept combines pinned contact lines at the edge of each microlens with an electrowetting controlled regulation of the pressure that actuates all microlenses in parallel. This design enables the development of various shapes of microlenses. The design presented here has potential applications in rapid parallel optical switches, artificial compound eye and three dimensional imaging.

Introduction Adaptive liquid lenses belong to the rapidly growing class of optofluidic devices that combine the control of fluids and light on the micrometer scale to enable novel applications for optical sensing, manipulation, imaging and displaying [1-6]. Various concepts of adaptive lenses have been developed in recent years to match the increasing demand for a variety of applications including mobile phones, surgical endoscopes, security cameras and DVD players [7]. Next to liquid crystal-based approaches novel liquid lenses in various configurations have been proposed using responsive hydrogels [3], piezoelectricity [8], acoustics [4] and Electrowetting (EW) [9-14] as actuation mechanisms. The latter is particularly useful for the design of compact and robust devices combining simple electrical driving with actuation speeds exceeding video rate for sub-millimetric lenses.
