摘要
We present the example of a specific design of an electrically tunable liquid crystal lens (TLCL) with floating electrode to analyze experimentally the potential of using TLCLs in intraocular implants. An optimized voltage-frequency driving technique is demonstrated to achieve high optical powers (up to 4 diopters) with very low aberrations (below 0.1 mu M) for an optical aperture of 3mm. In addition, the continuous character of distance accommodation and the absence of granularity across the aperture of the lens (pixel-free) make this component an excellent choice for various ophthalmic applications.
