Products

Optilux offers solutions that help narrow the currently large performance gap between “camera-phones” and “point & shoot” cameras.

Based on its exclusive license to Varioptic S.A. patented technology for mobile applications, Optilux currently offers high performance liquid lens actuators that combine auto-focus and optical image stabilization capabilities.  All Optilux products share the following core characteristics:

  • Random access capability for high performance
  • Low power
  • Robustness
  • Small footprint
  • Best cost/performance

The Optilux 617

Target Applications

With absolutely no moving parts, the Optilux 617 variable focus and variable tilt liquid lens is designed for both Autofocus and Optical Image Stabilization. The lens is ideally suited for 1/4'' and 1/3'' sensor formats, but can also fit larger sensor formats depending on the f number requirements.

Its variable tilt also allows using this lens for beam deviation combined with focus variation, opening new innovative optical applications.

Key Features

  • Supports Auto Focus and OIS in both picture and video modes
  • Specifically designed to compensate handshake in the 0.1Hz~10Hz range
  • Silent
  • Focus range supports from 5 cm to infinity
  • Easy to integrate
