Design and investigation of micro optofluidic lenses

The Final Year Project (FYP) undertaken by the author is B448 – Design and Investigation of Micro Optofluidic Lenses. The FYP is concerned with designing, fabricating and investigating the properties of a tunable liquid-core liquid-cladding circular micro optofluidic lens. Previous work in this area of fluidic microlenses has been widely reported. In many cases the focal length of the lens is fixed after fabrication. Other tunable lenses require external actuators for focal length tuning. The objective of this FYP is to create a robust micro optofluidic lens capable of focusing light and with a tunable focal length.Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering
