Abstract
Configurable optical device comprising an optical element () or various optical elements () arranged in series, wherein each element () comprises an active region () with an entry surface () and an exit surface () for light beams, and a perimeter (); each element () comprising at least one first transparent electrode () and at least one transparent counter electrode () the corresponding electrical connections being located in the perimeter (); the device being configured such that, upon application of a potential difference between electrodes () of each element (), an electric field that alters the degree of commutation in different regions of the active zone () of each element () is generated, thus creating a varying optical path profile in each element (), which allows an incident light beam to be focused in different ways, depending on the electric field applied to each electrode.
