Modeling and characterization of adaptive microlenses: focal length measurement using z-scan

In the second paper of two papers that address the modeling and characterization of adaptive microlenses, we report the theoretical basis for characterization of such lenses based on the z-scan method. In addition we compare the experimental measurement results with the simulated results obtained using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) utilizing FEMLABTM in the first paper. Some of the method advantages and limitations will be briefly addressed.
