Abstract

The main characteristic of adaptive lenses is to change their shape, and consequently their focal length, by modifying their physical parameters. On the other hand, Fresnel lenses have such features as large aperture, short focal length, they are slim and reduced in size. This kind of lenses have become very popular due their applications, such as in compound eyes, optical communication systems, photolithography, imaging systems, etc. Nowadays, several kinds of tunable lenses exist such as those made with dielectric materials, lenses that change their focal length by varying the refractive index of the material, liquid lenses composed by elastic membranes and solid elastic lenses. In this work, we present the design, simulation of the mechanical behavior using Finite Element Method (FEM) and cost analysis of an Adaptive Fresnel Lens made of an elastic material, together a mechanical mounting system. Our study considered the use of design thinking methodology to obtain the best optical design at minimal cost. Analysis, results and future applications are presented.
