摘要
Liquid-filled tunable-focus lenses have been demonstrated to be suitable for autofocus eyewear applications. Traditionally, these lenses are constructed using an elastomeric polymer chamber filled with a high-index liquid. In this work, we investigate the effect of elastomeric creep on the deformation and eventual degradation of these tunable lenses. We use numerical analysis of a deformable circular disk representative of the lens and provide rigorous experimental results testing the creep property of a number of elastomers. Finally, we provide a comparative study of different elastomeric materials and select the best one for this application. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
