    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Electrical Engineering

    Background:

    • Nonmechanical beam steering is crucial for compact optical systems.
    • Electrowetting liquid lenses and prisms offer tunable optical properties.
    • Integrating these components enables advanced beam manipulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a nonmechanical 3D beam steering system.

    • To achieve precise three-dimensional beam steering capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Optical design was modeled using Zemax.
    • Three-dimensional beam steering was simulated by altering lens ROC and prism apex angle.
    • An electrowetting liquid lens and a custom liquid prism were fabricated and combined.

    Main Results:

    • The liquid lens exhibited a diopter range from -3.9 D to 14.5 D.
    • The liquid prism achieved beam steering angles up to 11.6° (x-axis), 12° (y-axis), and 11.8° (xy-axis).
    • The integrated system demonstrated three-dimensional beam steering control, including the z-axis.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined electrowetting liquid lens and liquid prism system successfully achieved nonmechanical 3D beam steering.
    • This technology offers a novel approach for precise beam control in optical systems.
    • The system's performance indicates potential for applications requiring dynamic beam redirection.
