Abstract: A method for designing a microlens array on a pixel array is disclosed. A radial distance of each pixel from a central pixel in a pixel array is calculated, in which the central pixel acts as an origin of an X-Y coordinate. A chief ray angle of each pixel is determined according to the corresponding radial distance. A microlens shift with respect to the corresponding pixel is determined according to the corresponding chief ray angle. Each microlens shift combines an X-axis direction shift with a Y-axis direction shift, and the X-axis direction shift ratio is different from the Y-axis direction shift ratio. A plurality of microlenses is arranged according to the corresponding microlens shifts to form a microlens array on the pixel array.

Abstract: A tunable filter and its manufacturing method are disclosed. Interference of two laser beams defines the grating pattern required by the filter to make a micro grating with a period as small as several hundred nanometers on a polymer film. As the refractive index of the polymer film changes with the temperature, one can control the temperature to adjust the wavelengths of optical signals that the micro grating can reflect.
