Corning® Varioptic® liquid lenses require specific electrical driving signals to ensure both reliable operation and optimum optical performance. Leveraging its deep expertise and advanced characterization capabilities, Corning has developed proprietary algorithms that simplify lens integration while maximizing performance.

To support these requirements, Corning® Varioptic® has introduced the A-PE controller board—a highly integrated and proprietary electronic platform designed to facilitate the seamless integration of liquid lenses into end-user systems and products.

Unified Control Architecture

Initially launched with the A-25H0 lens, the A-PE controller is now deployed across the entire A-Series liquid lens portfolio (A-16F, A-25H0-D0, A-39N, A-58N), and will be extended to the C-S Series. The same platform is also embedded in the latest C-Mount lens portfolio (C-C-39N0-A1 Series), with feature rollouts planned progressively.

• Multipoint Calibration
  Individual lens characteristics are stored on the microcontroller, enabling direct optical power commands for precise control.
• V-Speed
  Proprietary algorithm that significantly reduces lens response time, enhancing dynamic performance.
• V-Temp
  Temperature compensation algorithm that maintains consistent lens behavior across varying environmental conditions.
• V-Sweep
  Pre-formatted optical power sweeps that preserve optical quality during transitions.
