In this paper, we demonstrate an adaptive liquid lens with a tunable field of view (FOV). The proposed liquid lens consists of an actuator and a lens chamber, the annular sheet is just placed on the liquid-liquid (L-L) interface in order to change the curvature and steer the tilt angle of the interface. Different from the conventional FOV adjustable lens combined with a liquid lens and a liquid prism, the proposed lens requires only one L-L interface to achieve the focal length change and FOV deflection. Moreover, the proposed lens reduces aberrations while maintaining high resolution. The experiments show that the optical power range is -27 m-1 to 30 m-1. It can realize the FOV deflection while tuning the focal length, with an angular resolution of 37"05. The proposed lens can be applied to telescopic system and microscopic system.
