The use of liquids and interfaces for sculpting optical wavefronts has led to a broad spectrum of optical components, some clever, some useful, occasionally both. The combination of micro-fluidics, micro-optics and micro-fabrication has been employed to realize, for example: tunable lenses; optical switches; fluidic waveguides; liquid lasers; reconfigurable apertures. A key feature of...
