Rajaoberison writes machine learning algorithms to help James Webb’s 18 primary mirrors position themselves and counter piston phase error.
Two new Rochester fellows of the National Academy of Inventors take aim at transformative discoveries in the world of optics.
Researchers have come up with a new technology to deliver augmented and virtual reality glasses that don’t look like “bug eyes.” “Image” is everything in the $20 billion market for AR/VR glasses. Consumers are looking for glasses that are compact and easy to wear, delivering high-quality imagery with socially acceptable optics. In a new paper in Science Advances, researchers describe imprinting freeform optics with a nanophotonic optical element called “a metasurface.” The metasurface is a veritable forest of tiny, silver, nanoscale structures on a thin metallic film that confo...
Metaform optics point to compact AR/VR glasses and imaging components 05 May 2021 University of Rochester combines metasurfaces and freeform optics for compact high-resolution systems. Years in the making: metaform components New optical systems of the kinds required for augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) displays are likely to exploit developments in novel components such as metasurfaces and freeform optics, and the non-classical optical behavior that they can provide. Customizable optics using these components in small form-factor platforms is also attractive for several high-resol...
University of Rochester “Image” is everything in the $20 billion market for AR/VR glasses. Consumers are looking for glasses that are compact and easy to wear, delivering high-quality imagery with socially acceptable optics that don’t look like “bug eyes.” University of Rochester researchers at the Institute of Optics have come up with a novel technology to deliver those attributes with maximum effect. In a paper in Science Advances, they describe imprinting freeform optics with a nanophotonic optical element called “a metasurface.” The metasurface is a veritable forest of tiny,...
