The APL-1050 is a variable-focal-length singlet fluidic lens utilizing proprietary design, formulation and packaging. It is a new component for the optics market and is affordable, durable, high-quality, and high-precision.
A lens core of the APL-1050 includes a lens fluid, an AR-coated and polished glass substrate, and a transparent elastomeric membrane. The highly-inert and non-compressed optical fluid is hermetically sealed inside the lens core. The lens core is encased in an aluminum housing that includes an actuation mechanism and angular markings. A portion of the lens core extends outside of the housing and has a ring-shaped grip for rotary manual actuation. Rotation of the grip results in compression of the lens core and a deformation of the membrane. The deformation of the membrane caused by non-compressed liquid is spherical and this results in a change in focal length of the lens.
