Abstract

A tunable lens including a pair of reflectors is disclosed. At least one of the reflectors may be curved for contributing to the focusing or defocusing power of the lens. At least one of the reflectors is translatable for tuning the focusing/defocusing power. The reflectors may be configured in a pancake lens configuration where one of the reflectors is a 50/50 reflector and the other is a polarization selective reflector. Refractive elements may be disposed between the reflectors for providing more optical power to the lens, and/or for balancing optical aberrations.
