STRUCTURES FOR LASER BONDING AND LIQUID LENSES COMPRISING SUCH STRUCTURES

Abstract:

A liquid lens includes a substrate and a structure deposited on the substrate. The structure includes an electrically conductive layer disposed on the substrate, and an electromagnetic absorber layer disposed on the electrically conductive layer. The structure exhibits a reflectivity minimum of about less than 1% at a visible wavelength within a visible wavelength range of 390 nm to 700 nm, and a reflectively of about 25% or less at an ultra-violet wavelength within an ultra-violet wavelength range of 100 nm to 400 nm. Methods of manufacturing the liquid lens and methods of operating the liquid lens are also provided.
