As shown in fig. 2, the theoretical basis of the electrowetting effect is young's equation, which can be used to explain the principle of the dual liquid lens. According to young's equation, a voltage U applied to a conducting liquid changes the contact angle θ between the conducting liquid and another immiscible non-conducting liquid:
Figure SMS_1
in the formula, theta 0 Is the contact angle at an applied voltage of 0V, d is the thickness of the dielectric layer, γ 12 Is the surface tension of the biliquid,. Epsilon 0 Is the dielectric constant of a vacuum,. Epsilon r Is the relative permittivity of the dielectric film.
The zoom power of the lens system was analyzed according to equation (1), and the shape of the liquid-liquid interface of the liquid-column lens at different applied voltages was simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. Depending on the lens configuration and the type of liquid chosen, the relevant parameters are set as follows: theta 0 =155°,ε r =2.65,d=15μm,γ 12 =0.01N/m. The simulation of the interface between two fluids at different applied voltages shown in fig. 2 directly shows the change in the shape and curvature of the surface, indicating that the interface can be treated as a changing cylinder, ignoring the long edges.
The interface of the central region shown in fig. 2 is curved in the Y-Z plane and straight in the X-Z plane. The curve in the Y-Z plane can be defined as
Figure SMS_2
Where c is the curvature (inverse of the radius) and k is the conic constant.
As shown in fig. 3, the cylindrical lens bends light rays only in the radial direction, focusing the front view (Y-Z plane) of the tunable liquid column lens; the refractive indices of the bottom plate 7, 5% of the NaCl solution 5, n-dodecane, the quartz glass 6 and air, respectively, are 1.5200 (n) 1 )、1.3401(n 2 )、1.4185(n 3 )、1.4585(n 4 ) And 1.0003 (n) 5 ).

The center radius of curvature of the interface of the two liquids is r, and the angle of incidence and angle of refraction of the surface are defined as i and i', respectively. The aperture angles of the liquid surface and the last surface of the lens are defined as U and U', respectively. To obtain the position of the focal plane, we can trace the paraxial rays parallel to the optical axis at the incident height h.
According to geometrical optics theory, the liquid interface in the paraxial region has the following relationship:
Figure SMS_3
after two refractions of the quartz glass 6 roof, the aperture angle U' can be expressed as
Figure SMS_4
The effective focal length f, i.e. the distance between the image principal plane H' and the liquid column lens focal plane, can then be expressed as
Figure SMS_5
The surface data in the Y-Z plane at different voltages were extracted and fitted using MATLAB, and the curvature of the two-liquid interface was substituted into equation (5) to obtain the effective focal length value corresponding to the voltage, and plotted in fig. 5. In the lens system thus embodied, when the applied voltage is in the range of 0V to 140V, the theoretically calculated effective focal length range is (— infinity, -148.36 mm) U (120.36 mm, + ∞).
As shown in fig. 5-11, for a specific experimental procedure of the lens system of the present application, the focusing tunable liquid cylindrical lens based on electrowetting proposed by the lens system of the present application is composed of a housing 2 and an internal liquid core. In the experiment, all parts were bonded with a uv curable adhesive. After curing, 0.8mL of 5% sodium chloride solution and 0.8mL of n-dodecane solution 3 (purity 98% or greater) were injected into the chamber of the housing 2. The image of the liquid lens without applied voltage is shown in fig. 5. In fig. 5 a is shown a front view (Y-Z plane) of a double liquid cylinder lens, showing the interface of the two liquids as a curve along the short side, and in fig. 5 b is shown a side view (X-Z plane) showing the middle area of the interface as a straight line along the long side. Thus, for incident light passing through the liquid lens of the rectangular aperture parallel to the bottom surface of the chamber, the liquid lens acts as a cylindrical lens.
The focal length of the cylindrical lens is determined by the curvature in the Y-Z plane. The front view (Y-Z plane) simulated surface and experimental surface at different voltages were compared as shown in fig. 6. To obtain a clear interface between the two liquids, a small amount of red pigment, now the thick line in the middle of d-f in FIG. 6, was added to the 5% sodium chloride solution. To facilitate comparison of experimental and simulation results, solid red lines representing the MATLAB simulated liquid surface curves are marked in the experimental plots, showing good fitness and demonstrating experimental feasibility.
In order to experimentally investigate the zoom performance of the liquid column lens designed and manufactured, an experimental optical system was established as shown in fig. 7. By arranging a light emitting diode (LED, wavelength: 589 nm) point light source on the convexThe focal point of the lens (f =180 mm), which is expanded to a parallel light with a diameter of 30 mm. After being reflected by a 45-degree steering mirror, the parallel light irradiates the bottom of the electrowetting cylindrical lens system at a right angle through a rectangular aperture with the width of 6.0mm and the length of 8.8 mm. The light refracted by the liquid lens reaches a CCD, the pixel size of the CCD is 5496 multiplied by 3672 pixels, and the size of each pixel is 2.4 multiplied by 2.4 mu m 2 And is viewed by being connected to a PC through a USB.
Experiments were first performed to verify that the proposed electrowetting liquid lens works as a cylindrical lens. An extremely thin circular mask of 1.2mm diameter was placed over the lens to view an image of 69.0mm distance as the liquid lens applied voltage changes. The images received by the CCD are shown as a-c in fig. 8, which shows a negligible minimal change in the vertical direction. Subsequently, an image of a rectangular aperture placed in front of the liquid lens at different applied voltages is obtained, as shown by d-f in fig. 8. Fig. 8 shows that the continuous-zoom micro liquid core cylindrical lens system designed by the present application can be used as a liquid cylindrical lens because it changes the beam profile in only one dimension.
Since the focal length of an electrowetting liquid lens is relatively long, in some cases even negative, it is not convenient to directly find the focal plane experimentally. Therefore, when the CCD is fixed, the change in the focal length of the lens can be indirectly determined by observing the change in the image to which different voltages are applied. The width of the parallel beam passing through the electrowetting liquid cylindrical lens was observed and measured at different voltages when the width of the rectangular aperture was 6.0mm and the distance between the rear surface of the lens and the CCD was 69.0 mm. The experimental results shown in fig. 9 indicate that the width of the spot pattern gradually decreases as the applied voltage increases. The image in fig. 9 is cropped very short because emphasis is placed on the width variation of the pattern to verify the zoom capability of the liquid cylindrical lens.
To validate the experimental data, a simultaneous simulation was performed. The curve parameters of the MATLAB simulation were imported into the optical design software Zemax and the annular surface type was selected to fit the liquid interface data. When the width of the rectangular aperture is 6.0mm and the length is 8.8mm, and the imaging plane is 69.0mm behind the liquid column lens, the simulation result is shown in fig. 10.
From the ray-trace images of the Zemax-based liquid lens shown in fig. 10, a-g, it can be seen that the light beam gradually converges with an increase in voltage. The simulation results of the image plane at U =0V, 80V, and 110V are shown as h-j in fig. 10. The dual liquid lens is initially a concave lens, so that the parallel light diverges after passing through the lens system, and the width of the image is greater than the aperture width. The curvature of the interface of the two liquids changes significantly with the voltage. When the voltage just exceeds 100V, the parallel light passing through the dual liquid lens starts to converge.
The experimental width data measured based on fig. 9 and the simulated width data obtained based on Zemax are plotted in fig. 11, and the goodness of fit is significantly higher. Fig. 11 shows that the proposed dual liquid electrowetting lens can achieve a zoom function by varying the applied voltage, as shown in analysis and simulation. However, when the voltage reached 120V, the experimental setup became extremely unstable, as electrolysis typically occurred in cylindrical lenses. Thus, all experimental data contained in this study correspond to voltages less than or equal to 110V.
The utility model provides a miniature liquid core column lens system zooms in succession based on electrowetting effect, this lens use a 20mm 10mm 8 mm's cuboid cavity, and this electrowetting liquid core column lens system forms the liquid core through pour into 5% NaCl solution 5 and n-dodecane solution 3 into in the quartz ring, when the external voltage is less than 110V, can stable work for a long time, changes the voltage and realizes zooming, compares with present existing zooming column lens system, the utility model discloses the structure is more simple, zooms more rapidly, and it is more convenient to produce. The electrowetting liquid core column lens system overcomes the defects that the optical axis is difficult to collimate and the like caused by the large number of the cylindrical lenses of the existing zoom cylindrical lens system, and can realize the rapid shaping of light beams; when the electrowetting column lens system applies voltage from 0 to 110V, the liquid contact surface shape is changed from convex to concave, the lens system designed by the utility model can realize the continuous smooth change of the focal length in (-infinity, -148.36 mm) U (697.21 mm, infinity); the utility model discloses the liquid consumption volume is only 1.6mL, and whole size is little, and the integration of being convenient for.
