The invented optical chamber is sealed and encapsulated by a transparent element, a connection element and a transparent substrate or another transparent element. The optical chamber is filled with a transparent fluid and equipped with an electronic sensing and execution component. The surface state, the position and the inclination of the optical chamber are adjusted by the electronic sensing and execution component or through a movable part of the connection element, thereby adjusting the output direction and the focal length of the light beam. The optical chambers are combined in series or in array to constitute an operational solar concentrator adapted to output more than one controlled convergent light beam or a directional light beam to support various light energy applications, such as long-distance lighting, heating, light energy and signal transmission, increased electric energy production, and weather control.

A light control system includes a housing, a controllable power source, a light source, and a plurality of cube-shaped tunable prisms. The controllable power source supplies at least four variable voltages. The light source is operable to emit a light beam. The cube-shaped tunable prisms are arranged in a manner so there are no gaps between adjacent tunable prisms. Each tunable prism receives a portion of the emitted light beam, each has a tunable deflection angle that is variable in two dimensions, and each is configured to optically steer the emitted light beam in the two dimensions based on the tunable deflection angle. Each tunable prism is further coupled to receive the four variable voltages. Each tunable prism comprises a liquid that varies the tunable deflection angle in two dimensions in response to the four variable voltages supplied thereto, to thereby deflect the light beam.

A lighting module is configured to provide a lighting beam and includes a light source providing an excitation beam, a rotating wheel module disposed on a transmission path of the excitation beam, and a first airflow generator. The rotating wheel module includes driving blades disposed at an interval. Any two adjacent driving blades form an airflow channel. The first airflow generator generates a first airflow that flows through the airflow channels of the driving blades to drive the rotating wheel module to rotate. At least a part of the light source is disposed on a flow path of the first airflow. With the foregoing design, the rotating wheel module can be passively rotated by the first airflow without a driver. Since a driver is omitted, the lighting module has a smaller size and greater design flexibility, and the rotating wheel module also has a larger usable area.

The invention relates to a tunable lens where the optical power can be adjusted. The lens consists of a deformable, non-fluid lens body sandwiched between a thin, flexible membrane and transparent back window, and an actuator system serving to change the overall shape of the membrane and lens body. The membrane is pre-shaped to have a Sag or Sagittal of at least 10 μm so that the lens has a non-zero optical power when the actuator system is not activated. In order to achieve a large optical power range for the lens, the membrane should preferably be made of a material having a Young's modulus in the range 2-1.000 MPa.
