Abstract

Disclosed are programmable lenses and gratings for use in a variety of optical applications, such as phase contrast correction, phase shift mask, maskless lithography, optical switching, acousto-optic holography, cryptographic keys, and optical memory devices. Further disclosed are methods for producing programmable optical lenses and gratings based on enhanced Brillouin scattering using acoustophoresis. Also described is a programmable axicon lens capable of a range of operation from ~1 mm to > 200 cm including a fluid or solid compressible medium enclosed in a circular acoustic transducer (PZT ring transducer). By varying the acoustic drive frequency and/or the amplitude of the drive signal, the programmable lens can be tuned for a range of focal lengths and behaviors.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 22 June 2004 (22.06.04); original claims 1, 18 and 22 amended ; original claim 17 cancelled original claims 2-16 and 19-21 unamended]
We claim:
1. A programmable optical component, comprising: one or more acoustic transducers; and an optically transparent medium, wherein the transparent medium includes a plurality of nanoparticles, wherein the one or more acoustic transducers induce an acoustic standing wave in the optically transparent medium.
2. The programmable optical component of claim 1 wherein the programmable optical component is a two-dimensional lens.
3. The programmable optical component of claim 2 wherein the component is a converging continuously graded index lens.
4. The programmable optical component of claim 2 wherein the component is a diverging continuously graded index lens.
5. The programmable optical component of claim 1 wherein the programmable optical component is a three-dimensional lens.
6. The programmable optical component of claim 1 wherein the programmable optical component is a two-dimensional grating.
7. The programmable optical component of claim 1 wherein the programmable optical component is a three-dimensional grating.
16. The programmable optical component of claim 1 wherein the transparent medium comprises one or more of the following: glass; polyacrylic acid; polyacrylamide; polymethylmethacrylate; polysiloxane; polyethylene glycol; water; cyclohexane; glycerol; and carbon tetrachloride.
18. A method of programming an optical component, comprising: transmitting one or more electrical signals to one or more acoustic transducers; producing vibrations in an optically transparent medium by activating the acoustic transducers in response to the electrical signals; and modulating a refractive index of the transparent medium using the vibrations, wherein the modulating the refractive index of the transparent medium forms an optical lens.
19. The method of claim 18 wherein modulating the refractive index of the transparent medium comprises moving a plurality of nanoparticles within the transparent medium by using the vibrations to exert hydrodynamic force on the nanoparticles.
20. The method of claim 18 wherein the electrical signals are frequency modulated.
21. The method of claim 18 wherein the electrical signals are amplitude modulated.
22. A method of programming an optical component having one or more acoustic transducers and a transparent medium containing a plurality of nanoparticles, comprising: activating at least one of the acoustic transducers to produce a standing wave in the transparent medium; and permitting the plurality of nanoparticles to move through the transparent medium in response to the standing wave.
