Abstract
A tunable liquid crystal lens employing a dual frequency liquid crystal material exhibiting a dielectric anisotropy about a crossover frequency at room temperature is provided. A tunable liquid crystal lens drive signal having low and high frequency components about the crossover frequency, applies a spatially modulated electric field to the dual frequency liquid crystal layer, wherein the differential root means square amplitude determines the optical power. Changing the differential root means square amplitude provides optical power changes under prevailing excitation conditions providing improvements in optical power change speed. Employing drive signal pulses can impart further optical power change speed improvements. A variety of tunable liquid crystal lens structures employing the proposed solution are described.
