Fast Electrically Tunable Lens
EL-10-30 Series
The curvature of this shape changing polymer lens is adjusted by applying current. The focal length is accordingly
tuned to a desired value within milliseconds. Optotune offers three different types of housings of the EL-10-30.
The compact 30x10.7 mm housing, a 30x20 mm housing with C-mount threads and the Industrial C-mount
housing (Ci) with Hirose connector. For each housing there are different options to adapt the lens to your needs:
• High refractive (HR) liquid (nD=1.559, V=32) & low dispersion (LD) liquid (nD=1.300, V=100)
• Diverse cover glass coatings
• Optional offset lenses
The table below summarizes the possible options for the three different housings. At the end of this document
you find a detailed explanation of the naming concept when ordering a customized EL-10-30.
