Liquid Lenses

I remember that a few years ago a fellow from the optics lab at Lockheed had developed a liquid which, when sandwiched between two glass elements, provided an abnoral level of dispersion. As I remember, it created an apochromatic lens. I don't remember what the glass elements were.

I was told that with the "inexpensive" apos coming from Russia there was no market for these, and that's the last I heard.

Does anyone know why this technology [seemingly] didn't pan out?
