Optical Vortices and Their Interactions
Tue, Apr 25, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
David Andrews, Ph.D., of the University of East Anglia provides a broad introduction to optical vortices, concisely explaining the key experimental methods and theory. He also shares the principles that determine the unusual features of optical vortex interactions with matter. At the quantum level, simple symmetry principles explain a range of novel effects, while in the broader fields of singular optics and structured light, topology is more relevant. Some of the latest studies reveal especially striking phenomena at the focal point of vortex beams. Despite optical vortices’ simple basis, the field is one in which wave optics, quantum theory, and symmetry can all reveal their distinctive effects in straightforward experiments.
Addressing the Measurement Challenges of XR Device Optics: Displays, Lenses, and Waveguides
Thu, May 4, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
The pace of innovation in AR/VR/MR, collectively XR, devices continues to yield new technologies, optical approaches, and device configurations. To keep up, designers and manufacturers need to be able to meet an expanding range of quality measurement and inspection demands at both the component and device level. Mike Caputo of Radiant Vision Systems covers the current landscape of XR optical metrology needs and shares flexible and cost-effective approaches to measure XR devices in the lab and in production. Presented by Radiant Vision Systems.
