A ''mold-less'' method for rapid prototyping spherical microlenses using the surface tension of a transparent, temperature sensitive polymer is presented. The lens size can be varied with the volume of the polymer dispensed, with a diameter range of 450@mm-4mm. The focal length can be varied with the deposition/curing temperature, and can have values in the range of 2-25mm. Mechanical profilometry and custom software was used to measure the lens profile. Parameters such as curvature, focal length, diameter, contact angle, and F-number were extracted from the measurements. Finally, an empirical model that predicts these variables as a function of temperature and volume deposited is proposed.
