Popis: Zoom lens design with liquid lenses is a novel method to greatly reduce the complication of the whole system.This paper reviews the research situation and applications of the technology.Firstly,the principles and characteristics of the some types of liquid lenses are introduced according to the lens classifications on gradient refractive index lenses and variable curvature lenses.The specifications and advantages of several typical lens series such as ARCTIC lens series and Optotune lens series are given.Then,applications of liquid lens in zoom systems are analyzed,and their advantages in focus-tunable glasses,cell phone camera lenses,endoscopes and several types of microscopies are described.Finally,based on a liquid lens,a long focus zoom system with a high zoom ratio of 2.5 is designed for visible light.
