Design faster and more compact optical systems without complex mechanics using the electrically focus tunable lens EL-10-30-TC. By applying a current, the focal length of the 10 mm aperture lens can be tuned to a specific value in milliseconds. Thanks to an integrated temperature sensor and characterization data, the lens can be driven to precise focal powers using Optotune's lens driver 4. The EL-10-30-TC is available with two broadband coating options, VIS for 400-700nm and NIR for 700-1100nm.
