Superhydrophobic Multifocal Microlens Array with Depth-of-Field Detection for a Humid Environment.

ABSTRACT: Microlens array (MLA) has been widely applied in augmented reality and optical imaging. When used in a humid environment or medical endoscopy, MLA needs to be both superhydrophobic and multifocal. However, it is not easy to achieve both superhydrophobic and multifocal function by integrating superhydrophobic and multifocal structures on the same surface by means of a simple, efficient, and precise method. In this paper, the superhydrophobic multifocal MLA with superhydrophobic properties and multifocal functions is successfully designed for preparation based on a method of 3D lithography and soft lithography. The 3D lithography can further help the preparation of a multifocal MLA with varying apertures and a multistep superhydrophobic structure with a round dome. The superhydrophobic multi
