Spectrometer and scanner with optofluidic configuration

We present a spectrometer and scanner based on optofluidic configurations. The main optical component of the spectrometer is a compound optical element consisting of an optofluidic lens and standard blazed diffraction grating. The spectrum size can be changed by filling the lens cavity with different liquids. The scanner comprises two hollow 45? angle prisms oriented at 90? to each other. By changing the liquid inside the prisms, two-dimensional light beam scanning can be performed. � 2013 Optical Society of America
