Varioptic Liquid Lens in camera phones
Varioptic liquid lens solutions offer many opportunities for product innovation in the field of imaging particularly suited to the sectors of endoscopy, imaging by confocal microscopy, laser beam focus, security, control on tumours . Ophthalmology can also benefit from our emerging concept of adaptive liquid optics.

Biometry and identification
With its response time of 2/100 s, the variation rate of the liquid lens presents a major advantage for character reading, 1D or 2D bar codes, or other biometrical identification elements such as iris and fingerprint recognition.

Automotive
The auto focus capabilities of our lenses offer new economical solutions for telemetry applications or surveillance systems.
Varioptic has developed the following products for industrial applications:
Liquid Lenses
Arctic 314
 

The new Arctic 314 has been especially designed to match the requirements of low footprint systems, for both 1/4" and 1/3" formats.  With the advent of high quality ( high resolution, small pixel pitch) image sensors, the need for compact, reliable and inexpensive autofocus solutions is now emerging.

Arctic 314 matches image quality requirements up to 5MP, and is especially suitable for the current trend of slim camera phones and miniature industrial cameras.   For more information, contact [email protected]

Arctic 416
 

The Arctic 416 is the perfect fit for low footprint systems, especially suitable for the current trend of slim camera phones and miniature industrial cameras. It provides a fast track to market for OEMs and ODMs looking for an easy to integrate, high performance auto focus solution.

Taking full advantage of the ARCTIC 416 features, such as its inherent accuracy and un-matched response time, much simpler auto focus strategies can be applied to obtain sharp, crisp focus in time never reached before. For more information, contact [email protected].

DrivIC 60
 

The DrivIC 60 Series provides developers and integrators with a set of driver solutions for the ARCTIC Series of variable focus lenses.

The DrivIC 60 LL3 solution is based on a step-up converter from Durel (www.durel.com), which is tuneable through an adjustable pin. Its H-bridge output can drive Varioptic’s ARCTIC liquid lenses by supplying up to 60VRMS into a capacitive load of 500pF maximum. The DrivIC 60 LL3 uses an external inductor and capacitor as part of the boost power supply. It can be shut down to conserve power in battery operation.
