ABSTRACT
In this Letter, a miniature solid tunable dual-focus (DF) lens, which is designed using freeform optical surfaces and driven by one microelectro-mechanical-systems rotary actuator, is reported. Such a lens consists of two optical elements, each having a flat surface and one freeform surface optimized by ray-tracing technology. By changing the relative rotation angle of the two lens elements, the lens configuration can form double foci with corresponding focal lengths varied simultaneously, resulting in a tunable DF effect. Results show that one of the focal lengths is tuned from about 30 to 20 mm, while the other one is varied from about 30 to 60 mm, with a maximum rotation angle of about 8.2 deg.
