摘要
A liquid pressure varifocus lens that consists of a thin polymer film and liquid is described. The lens can be continuously changed from a concave to a convex shape by driving the liquid pressure in the lens. The dynamic range of the focal length of the convex lens is from 50 to 250mm. A beam spot verifies the variable focal function on a photographic film exposed by a He-Ne laser. In addition, the application of the laser for processing is demonstrated to manufacture Fe compressed powder sheets by normal pulse YAG laser. Its melting marks along a focus change are formed with a minimum width of 0.1 mm. (c) 2005 The Optical Society of Japan.
