    In order to meet the demand of lightweight,miniaturization,large fields of view,a multi-focusing artificial-compound-eye with a gradually decreasing focal length was proposed. The ommatidia were arranged in the form of concentric circles,and each one owned the same focal length in the same circle. The artificial-compound-eye was fabricated by the photoresist reflow method. Each ommatidium had a specific focal length within a small interval through the calculation of dosage of photoresist,so that all the ommatidia could focus on the same plane. As for the manufacturing process,negative pressure was applied to solve microlens deformation problems,and Polydimethylsiloxane coelomic compartment was used for injecting optical adhesives without any impurities. In addition,Norland81 as the moulding material has similar qualities to the previous one,yet it can be cured 3 to 5 times faster. The simulation model was established by ZEMAX,and the result of ray-tracing shown that a clear image point could be obtained even under large field of view.
