Abstract: Apparatus for deflection of a beam of light includes a case, which is configured to be positioned in a path of the beam, and a liquid, which is contained within the case. An array of plates is disposed across a surface of the liquid. The plates are configured to rotate on the surface about respective axes, which are mutually parallel and are spaced apart by a predefined pitch. An actuator is configured to drive a rotation of the plates about the respective axes so as deflect the beam that is incident on the plates.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the camera system comprises: an optical assembly to create an optical image from the optical wavefront; a deformable phase plate (DPP) to receive the optical image from the optical assembly and to adjust the optical image in accordance with a control signal, the DPP including a deformable surface suspended over a cavity filled with optical fluid, and electrical actuation elements configured to change a shape of the deformable surface based on the control signal, the electrical actuation elements arranged in a pattern in the cavity and, when activated, provide an electrostatic force on the deformable surface; an image sensor to convert the adjusted optical image into electrical signals; an image signal processor to generate a digital image from the electrical signals; and an estimator to estimate an aberration or tilt correction of the digital image and to generate the control signal based on the estimated aberration or tilt correction.

Abstract: An optical component includes a substrate and a piezoelectric film formed on the substrate and configured to deform in response to an actuation voltage applied thereto into a pattern of peaks and troughs configured to deflect optical radiation that is incident thereon. The pattern has an amplitude determined by the actuation voltage.

Abstract: An optical device includes first and second planar substrates having respective first and second faces and including first and second diffractive structure disposed respectively on the first and second faces. First and second planar electrodes are disposed respectively on the first and second faces. A mount holds the second planar substrate parallel to the first planar substrate, with the second face adjacent to the first face and with the first and second planar electrodes in mutual proximity, while permitting the second planar substrate to move transversely relative to the first planar substrate. A control circuit is coupled to apply an electrical potential between the first and second planar electrodes with a voltage sufficient to shift the second diffractive structure transversely relative to the first diffractive structure.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have lenses. A user may view images through the lenses from eye boxes. The lenses may be tunable liquid lenses. Each lens may have a lens chamber. The lens chamber of the lens may have rigid and/or flexible walls that form optical lens surfaces. Actuators and/or pump and reservoir systems may deform the lens surfaces in response to control signals from a control circuit to tune the lens. Each liquid lens may have oil or other liquid in the lens chamber for that lens. Inorganic dielectric particles or other refractive-index-adjustment particles may be used to adjust the refractive index of the lens. The particles may be subwavelength in size.
