Abstract: A tunable liquid microlens includes an insulating layer, a droplet of a transparent conducting liquid, and a lubricating layer disposed on a first surface of th e insulating layer and between the droplet and the insulating layer. The microlens also includes a plurality of electrodes insulated from the droplet by the insulating layer a nd the lubricating layer, the plurality of electrodes being disposed such that they may be selectively biased to create a respective voltage potential between the droplet and each of the plurality of electrodes, whereby an angle between the droplet and a plane parallel to the first surface of the insulating layer may be varied and the droplet m ay be repositioned relative to the insulating layer.

Abstract: An optical fiber assembly has a microlens joined to the face of an optic al fiber. The microlens is made from a material which, when liquid, adheres to the face. The microlens can have a focal point which defines an optical path between the surface of the microlens and the optical fiber's core. This assembly can be formed by applying liquid such a pre-dispensed droplets of liquid to the optical fiber so that the liquid adheres to the optical fiber as a droplet at the face, and solidifying the droplet to form the microlens. The droplet's shape can be altered as it solidifies.

Abstract: A nanostructured substrate is disclosed having a plurality of substrate openings disposed between the nanostructures on the substrate. When a desired fluid comes into contact with the substrate, at least a portion of t he fluid is allowed to pass through at least one of the openings. In a first embodiment, the fluid is caused to pass through the openings by causing the fluid to penetrate the nanostructures. In a second embodiment, the substrate is a flexible substrate so that when a mechanical force is applied to the substrate, such as a bending or stretching force, the distance between nanoposts or the diameter of nanocells on the substrate increases and the liquid penetrates the nanostructures. In another embodiment, a first fluid, such as water, is prevented from penetrating the nanostructures on the substrate while a second fluid is permitted to pass through the substrate vi a the openings in the substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a tunable liquid microlens that includes a transpare nt supporting layer and a transparent photoresponsive layer disposed on a first surface of the supporting layer. A droplet of a transparent liquid is disposed on the photoresponsive layer. The photoresponsive layer separates the supporting layer and the droplet. At least a portion of the photoresponsive layer that contacts the droplet may be selectively irradiated by at least one light source such that a contact angle between th e droplet and the photoresponsive layer may be varied and the droplet may be repositioned along the photoresponsive layer. In this manner, at least one of a focal length and a lateral position of a focal spot of the microlens may be adjusted directly by irradiation wit h a light beam.
