Reconfigurable, Non-Oscillating Liquid Lens And Imaging Systems

View page
US Patent:
8564884, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Jul 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/191004
Inventors:
Amir H. Hirsa - Clifton Park NY, US
Michael J. Vogel - Voorhees NJ, US
Assignee:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - Troy NY
International Classification:
G02B 1/06
G02B 15/14
US Classification:
359665, 359676
Abstract:
A non-oscillating liquid lens and imaging system and method employing the lens are provided. The liquid lens includes a substrate with a channel opening extending through the substrate. A liquid lens drop is held within the channel and is sized with a first droplet portion, including a first capillary surface, protruding away from a first substrate surface, and a second droplet portion, including a second capillary surface, protruding away from a second substrate surface. The liquid lens further includes an enclosure at least partially surrounding the substrate, and which includes a chamber. The liquid lens drop resides within the chamber, and the liquid lens includes a second liquid disposed within the chamber in direct or indirect contact with the liquid lens drop, and an actuator which facilitates adjusting configuration of the liquid lens drop within the channel, and thus, a focal distance of the liquid lens.

US Patent:
20090316003, Dec 24, 2009
Filed:
Jun 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/487328
Inventors:
Amir H. HIRSA - Clifton Park NY, US
Carlos A. LOPEZ - Torreon, MX
Assignee:
RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - Troy NY
International Classification:
G02B 3/12
H04N 17/00
H04N 5/225
G02B 26/08
US Classification:
348187, 359665, 348360, 3592101, 348E17002
Abstract:
An oscillating liquid lens and imaging system and method employing the lens are provided. The liquid lens includes a substrate with a channel opening extending therethrough between a first and second surface. A liquid drop is disposed within the channel and is sized with a first droplet portion, including a first capillary surface, protruding away from the first surface, and a second droplet portion, including a second capillary surface, protruding away from the second surface. The liquid lens further includes an oscillator operatively coupled to either the first droplet portion or the second droplet portion for oscillating the liquid drop within the channel. The imaging system, in addition to the oscillating liquid lens, also includes an image sensor coupled to an image path which passes through the first and second droplet portions for capturing one or more images through the oscillating liquid drop.

US Patent:
20120027247, Feb 2, 2012
Filed:
Jul 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/190980
Inventors:
Amir H. HIRSA - Clifton Park NY, US
Michael J. VOGEL - Voorhees NJ, US
Lili CHENG - Rexford NY, US
Joseph D. OLLES - Schenectady NY, US
Assignee:
RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - Troy NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G02B 3/12
B23P 17/00
G02B 1/06
US Classification:
382100, 359665, 295271
Abstract:
An oscillating liquid lens and imaging system and method employing the lens are provided. The liquid lens includes a substrate with a channel opening extending through the substrate. A liquid drop is disposed within the channel and is sized with a first droplet portion, including a first capillary surface, protruding away from a first substrate surface, and a second droplet portion, including a second capillary surface, protruding away from a second substrate surface. The liquid lens further includes an enclosure at least partially surrounding the substrate, and including a chamber. The liquid drop resides within the chamber, and the liquid lens includes a second liquid disposed within the chamber in direct or indirect contact with the liquid drop, and the liquid lens further includes a driver for oscillating the liquid drop within the channel.

Liquid Lens With Magnification Control

View page
US Patent:
20150331156, Nov 19, 2015
Filed:
Nov 13, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/443086
Inventors:
- Troy NY, US
Amir H. HIRSA - Clifton Park NY, US
Assignee:
RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE - Troy NY
International Classification:
G02B 3/14
G02B 26/00
Abstract:
A liquid lens structure and method of fabrication are provided. The liquid lens includes a substrate with a channel opening extending through the substrate. A liquid drop is disposed within the channel and an enclosure at least partially surrounds the substrate, and forms a chamber. The liquid drop resides within the chamber, and a second liquid is disposed within the chamber in direct or indirect contact with the liquid drop at a first interface and a second interface. The first and second interfaces define first and second protruding liquid portions relative to the first and second surfaces, respectively. Taken together, the first and second liquid portions define a total protruding liquid volume. A lens magnification control is provided for adjusting magnification of the liquid lens by increasing or decreasing the total protruding liquid volume defined relative to the first and second surfaces.
