  • This paper introduces a new zoom lens technique that is varifocal-liquid technique. First of all, it reviews and summarizes the domestic and foreign scientific achievements on the varifocal-liquid techniques, and gives the basic principle, realization forms and the classification of liquid lenses. Then, the paper evaluates the excellent performance of the liquid lenses and their influences on optical fields, especially the revolutionary change brought by varifocal-liquid technique. Finally, for the development status and application engineering situation, it analyzes the urgency problems unsolved in varifocal-liquid technique. Finally, and it points out that the investigation and development of varifocal-liquid techniques should focus on the mechanism research to eliminate the effects of temperature field and gravity field on the performance of liquid lenses, the design of off-axis system and asymmetric system and further promoting the practical applications of the liquid lenses.
