Fast Electrically Tunable Lens EL-10-30-C

Design faster and more compact optical systems without complex mechanics using the electrically focus tunable lens EL-10-30-C. By applying a current of 0 to 300mA, the focal length of the 10 mm aperture lens can be tuned to a specific value within milliseconds. The EL-10-30-C also features threads on either side for easy mounting as well as the possibility to replace the cover glass with a fixed focus offset lens, allowing for free adjustment of the focal length range according to the requirements of your application.

The EL-10-30-C has two main optical configurations:

1. The basic configuration has planar cover glasses and a focal tuning range of 200mm down to 100mm, making this the best choice for macro imaging.
2. The "MV" configuration is optimized for the machine vision market. It contains a negative offset lens so that the over all focal tuning range goes from slightly negative down to 286mm, making this the ideal choice for combinations with infinity corrected fixed-focus lenses.

Fast Electrically Tunable Lens EL-16-40-TC

With a clear aperture of 16 mm Optotune presents the worlds‘s largest electrically focus tunable lens. Its design has been optimized in many ways:

• The 60% larger aperture than its predecessor, the EL-10-30, allows for 2.5x more light throughput
• The tunable lens can be shaped from a flat zero-state into a plano-concave or plano-convex lens, resulting in a focal tuning range of up to -10 to +10 diopters (at -250 to +250mA)
• The design was optimized to minimize thermal drift effects to as little as 0.02 dpt/°C and with the built in temperature sensor, an overall reproducibility of typically +/- 0.05 diopters is achievable
• Response & settling times are 5 & 25ms, respectively, which is still magnitudes faster than most mechanical alternatives
• Integration of the lens shaper inside the container allows for the highest possible positioning accuracy of the tunable lens

The EL-16-40-TC is available in its compact form for OEM integration but also with multiple thread adapters and a robust Hirose connector for industrial use, where the tunable lens can be easily combined with off-the-shelf imaging lenses.
