Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an optical device (1), comprising: a container (10) enclosing an internal space (11) of the container (10), the internal space (11) being filled with a transparent liquid (12), wherein the container (10) comprises a transparent and elastically deformable membrane (13) delimiting said internal space (11) at least partially, wherein the container (10) further comprises a transparent rigid optical element (2) being connected to said membrane (13), the rigid optical element (2) comprising an optical surface (20) facing the membrane (13), the rigid optical element (2) being configured to receive light (L) for passing the light (L) through the transparent liquid (12) residing in the internal space (11) of the container (10), wherein the optical device (1) further comprises a supporting structure (3) supporting the rigid optical element (2) so that the rigid optical element (2) is tiltable about at least a first tilting axis (X) extending along said optical surface (20) of the rigid optical element (2) to deflect light passing through the container (10), wherein the supporting structure (3) is configured to prevent a translation of the rigid optical element (2) in a direction parallel to an optical axis (A) of the optical device.
