A spatially conformable tunable filter comprises a structure that includes a first flexible and optically reactive electrode; a second flexible and optically reactive electrode; a flexible electro-optic material layer affixed between the first and second electrodes and having a voltage dependent refractive index; and a voltage source connected to the first and second electrodes for establishing an electric field in the electro-optic material layer and dynamically controlling the index of refraction of the electro-optic material layer, wherein a section of said structure has an arcuate shaped neutral axis having a radius R, when said structure is flexed, where 0<R&LE;<![CDATA[&INFIN;]]>.
