This paper presents the modeling and experimental results of a liquid-core liquid-cladding optofluidic lens under the combined effect of hydrodynamics and electroosmosis. To allow the lens to be tuned by a voltage, the cladding fluids are electrically conducting, while the core fluid is non-conducti...
