Abstract

Soft optical components based on flexible polymers or fluids can be coupled to electroactive polymer artificial muscles for monolithically integrated optical elements with voltage controlled properties. A flexible polymer distributed feedback (DFB) dye laser is combined with an electroactive dielectric elastomer actuator to afford continuous voltage-controlled wavelength shift.
