Abstract

The optical systems mimicking the eye functions are of great importance in various applications including consumer electronics, medical equipment, machine vision systems and robotics. This optics offers advantages over traditional optical technologies such as the superior adaptation to changing conditions and the comprehensive range of functional characteristics at miniature sizes. This paper presents a review on the recent progress in the development of human eye-inspired optical systems. Liquid-based and elastomer-based tunable optical elements are discussed with the focus on the actuation mechanism, optical performance and the possibility of integration into artificial eye systems.

This article is part of the theme issue ‘Bioinspired materials and surfaces for green science and technology (part 3)’.
