In the first two years of Tubular Optofluidics, it was shown that three dimensional optofluidic systems in a tubular geometry are feasible. A tunable lens; an astigmatism-tunable lens; and a rotational fluidic prism and scanner were developed and demonstrated.In this proposed one-year follow-up research project, we propose to research and develop two further aspects of Tubular Optofluidics, namely the incorporation of a tunable aperture and the design and demonstration of a tunable multi-element zoom system.An aperture is an essential component in most optical systems, and tunability of the aperture diameter is essential for tunable systems. For this reason, a fluidic aperture tuned by electrowetting is planned for the first work phase, designed to be integrated with the previously realized optofluidic elements. The aperture will be based on a buried electrode in the tubular foil, an actuation structure similar to that of the lens and prism. The final and crowning step for the project is then the design and realizationof a fully functional multi-element fluidic zoom system using the tunable components developed in the earlier stages. Such a multi-component optofluidic system has never been demonstrated previously and its successful implementation would provide the basis for entirely new forms of highly versatile optofluidic microsystems.The proposed concept will rely on the integration of the tunable optofluidic elements actuated by electrowetting. The multi-component system, designed with two tunable fluidic lens elements, will require extensive simulation and design, using analytical modeling as well as ray-tracing simulation. Fabrication of an advanced electrode foil as well as development of highly controlled liquid dosing processes will be essential parts of its realization. When completed, the tunable all-liquid optofluidic zoom system will be the first of its kind ever demonstrated, showing the power of three-dimensional optofluidic technology.

在前两年的管状光流体，它表明，在一个管状几何形状的三维光流体系统是可行的。可调透镜偏光可调透镜;以及旋转射流棱镜和扫描器。在这项为期一年的后续研究计划中，我们建议进一步研究和发展管状光射流技术的两个方面，即加入可调孔径和设计和演示可调多元变焦系统。孔径是大多数光学系统的重要组成部分，并且孔径直径的可调谐性对于可调谐系统是必不可少的。出于这个原因，计划在第一工作阶段使用通过电润湿调谐的流体孔径，该流体孔径被设计为与先前实现的光流体元件集成。该孔径将基于管状箔中的掩埋电极，类似于透镜和棱镜的致动结构。该项目的最后一步是使用早期开发的可调组件设计和实现一个功能齐全的多元件射流变焦系统。这种多组分的光流控系统以前从未被证明过，它的成功实现将为全新形式的高度通用的光流控微系统提供基础。设计有两个可调流体透镜元件的多部件系统将需要使用分析建模以及光线跟踪模拟进行广泛的模拟和设计。先进的电极箔的制造以及高度控制的液体计量过程的发展将是其实现的重要组成部分。完成后，可调全液体光流体变焦系统将是有史以来第一个展示的此类系统，展示了三维光流体技术的力量。
