Design and Fabrication of convex and concave Lenses made of Transparent Liquids

Abstract: This report studies about optical convex and concavelenses, made of liquid materials. Design proposals of the liquidlenses and the required supporting structure (container), as wellas manufacturing method have been investigated. 8 lenses aredesigned: 4 convex and 4 concave. The theoretical expectationsare validated by simulation and experimental results. The methodhave both advantages and disadvantages. The materials in thelenses are water, syrup, benzyl benzoate and bromone naphtha-lene.
