Abstract
A novel method to manipulate or fabricate aspherical micro lens from photo curable polymer is proposed in this paper. Two dimensional forces, carried out by electro-wetting and electrostatic forces were applied to shape polymer liquid from hemisphere into paraboloid or near cone shape. As a result, the Strehl ratio for this lens can be varied from 0.0076 in spherical shape into 0.8362 in near paraboloid shape, suitable for optical applications desiring lenses with high numerical apertures and resolution. © 2005 IEEE.
