Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid for an optical tuneable device, wherein the optical tuneable device comprises a volume and a membrane and wherein the volume is filled with a liquid comprising at least one compound of formula (I), at least one additive, particularly wherein the at least one additive is selected from the group of a protecting agent, a stabiliser, a tracer, a buffer and/or a surface tension adjustment agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing at least one optical component (1), comprising the steps of: a) Providing at least one cavity (2), wherein the at least one cavity (2) is delimited on a first side by a surface (3a) of a first membrane portion (3), wherein a shape of the first membrane portion (3) is adjustable; b) Filling a material (4) into the at least one cavity (2) for forming at least one optical component (1), such that the material (4) contacts a surface (3a) of the first membrane portion (3); c) Adjusting the shape of the first membrane portion (3); d) Curing the material (4) filled into the at least one cavity (2) so that the material (4) forms a first interface (e.g. a first optical surface) (1a) of the at least one optical component (1), which first interface (1a) comprises a shape defined by a shape of the surface (3a) of the first membrane portion (3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical tuneable device comprising a volume and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane, wherein the membrane delimits the volume at least partially and the volume is filled with a silicone-based polymer of formula 1, with R1 being an alkyl moiety, —(CH2)-phenyl, phenyl, CF3 or alkyl-CN moiety, R2 to R8 being —H, an alkyl, (CH2)-phenyl or phenyl moiety. The polymer may optionally be substituted by —F. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of said polymer in an optical tuneable device.
