Tunable optofluidic devices exhibit some unique characteristics that are not achievable in
conventional solid-state photonic devices. They provide exciting opportunities for emerging …

Liquid dielectrophoresis is a bulk force acting on dipoles within a dielectric liquid inside a
non-uniform electric field. When the driving electrodes are interdigitated, bulk liquid …

We demonstrate a tunable imaging system based on the functionality of the mammalian eye
using soft-matter micro-optical components. Inspired by the structure of the eye, as well as …

The convergence of optical imaging acquisition and image processing algorithms is a fast-
evolving interdisciplinary research field focused on the reconstruction of images with novel …

An optofluidic iris, which uses the absorption of an opaque liquid in combination with a
second transparent liquid for defining optical apertures of variable diameters, tuned by …

Replicating the functionality of the human eye has been a challenge for more than a century,
creating a great wealth of biomimetic and bioinspired devices, and providing ever improving …

We propose an optical switch based on the electrowetting effect. A transparent oil and a dye-
doped water fill a cell. The two liquids are immiscible and form a curved interface. A …

The optical systems mimicking the eye functions are of great importance in various
applications including consumer electronics, medical equipment, machine vision systems …

We report a tunable iris using two immiscible liquids. One liquid is opaque and conductive,
while the other liquid is clear and insulating. The opaque liquid forms an iris-like opening in …
