The recent rapid development in microlens technology has provided many opportunities for miniaturized optical systems, and has found a wide range of applications. Of these microlenses, tunable-focus microlenses are of special interest as their focal lengths can be tuned using micro-scale actuators integrated with the lens structure. Realization of such tunable microlens generally relies on the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technologies. Here, we review the recent progress in tunable liquid microlenses. The underlying physics relevant to these microlenses are first discussed, followed by description of three main categories of tunable microlenses involving MEMS techniques, mechanically driven, electrically driven, and those integrated within microfluidic systems.

“…Fluidic lenses have a number of apparent advantages such as tunable refractive index and reconfigurable geometry. Several approaches to design the liquid lens have been developed based on the microfluidic techniques to modify the liquid lens shape by using: out-of-plane micro-optofluidic [25][26], in-plane micro-optofluidic [27][28], electron wetting [29], dielectrophoresis [30] and hydrodynamic force [31]. Other approach bases on turning the refractive index of the liquid by different means such as pressure control, optical control, magnetic control, thermo-optic control, and electro-optic control.…”

“…It is also desirable to implement systems without mechanical moving parts. Many different approaches have been studied, including the uses of a pneumaticallycontrolled liquid lens [35] and a liquid crystal based microlens [36]. Variable focal length liquid lenses with electrowetting gradients [37] and electrochemical modification of self-assembled monolayers [38] have also been demonstrated.…”
