Abstract :
The University of Cincinnati has launched a broad program in electrowetting optics for displays, beam steering, retroreflectors, and adaptive camouflage. In this talk, we will review the operational basics of electrowetting microprisms, and the challenges/outlook pertaining to use as fixed-pitch and wide-angle optical phased array.
