The binoculars system also produced on the left and right halves of the display surface and viewed by a prism, mirror, or binoculars system that delivers the appropriate image to each eye. The prism system is the simplest, the mirror system gives the best optical quality, and the binoculars system is useful for producing large apparent images from small display surfaces. All three systems can be adapted for group viewing and all require careful alignment (null adjustment of accommodative distance and vergence distance).

Yet, as AO imaging systems advance in functionality by employing multiple spectral channels and larger vergence ranges, achieving optimal resolution and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) becomes difficult and is often compromised. While current-generation AO retinal imaging systems have demonstrated excellent, near diffraction-limited imaging performance over wide vergence and spectral ranges, a full theoretical and experimental analysis of an AOSLO that includes both the light delivery and collection optics has not been done, and neither has the effects of extending wavefront correction from one wavelength to imaging performance in different spectral channels. Here, we report a methodology and system design for simultaneously achieving diffraction-limited performance in both the illumination and collection paths for a wide-vergence, multi-spectral AO scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) over a 1.2 diopter vergence range while correcting the wavefront in a separate wavelength.

    Geometric Optics Leon Strauss Outline of sections 1 Electromagnetic waves emanating from a point source Wavefronts, waves Waves traveling through a homogeneous medium where the speed is uniform (also called an isotropic medium) or through a medium where the waves’ speed varies Mirage The speed of a wave of visible-spectrum light is slowed, passing through a medium, because the light causes electron clouds to vibrate. The vibrations of electrons (moving electric charges) create electromagnetic waves, whose phase lags behind the phase of the incident light. Summing the two waves, the resulting wave travels more slowly than the incident light. (The explanation isn’t really part of geometric optics, but we discuss it briefly.)

  • Overcoming Vergence Accommodation Conflict in Near Eye Display Systems
    White Paper Overcoming Vergence Accommodation Conflict in Near Eye Display Systems Mark Freeman, Ph.D., Director of Opto-Electronics and Photonics, Innovega Inc Jay Marsh, VP Engineering, Innovega Inc Executive Summary: VR or AR display systems must present the synthetic world in three dimensions. The field of view should be large enough to create an immersive experience, on the order of 100° or larger. At the same time, the display should be capable of presenting a depth range that extends from infinitely far to less than an arm's length away. Most fixed focus display sys- tems do not have the depth of field to present a clear focused image over this full range and additionally, due to the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict or VAC, viewing stereo 3D (S3D) content over this range can cause headaches, nausea, and general discomfort. Cur- rently, this is one of the biggest challenges for the headworn display industry. To address this problem, developers have taken a handful of different approaches. These include var- ious methods to actively adjust the focus of the display using opto-mechanical or electro- optical means to change the optical path that relays the display to the eye. Alternatively, some developers are creating multiple display planes placed at a few distances within the depth range so that the display content can be moved between the multiple focus planes to span the depth range. We will briefly review some of these approaches below. They all add complexity and bulk to the optical system that must be worn on the head. Innovega is taking the unique path of downsizing the complexity and bulk of the headworn optical system by shifting important functionality to the iOptik® contact lens.

  • Bubble Optics
    Bubble optics Markus Selmke *Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, Albert-Einstein-Str. 7, 07745 Jena and Germany∗ (Dated: September 11, 2019) Starting from a peculiar image observed below a bubble floating at a water-air interface, the article analyzes several optical properties of these special types of refracting objects (coined bubble axicons). Using mainly geometrical optics, their relation to common axicons, the shadow sausage effect and elementary optical catastrophes (caustics) are discussed. I. MOTIVATION Menisci formed around small objects in water are a fascinating topic. Either the interactions they induce (cf. the "cheerios" effect1; water striders walking on water2), or the caustics they create when illuminated with light: the shadow-sausage effect observed for water-immersed sticks3{5 or the beautiful patterns decorating enlarged shadows below floating leafs are good examples of the latter4,6. This article describes a peculiar lens formed by the meniscus around individual floating bubbles at an interface. Apart from the phenomenon being easily observable in many situations in our everyday lifes, the importance of bubble optics may also be appreciated due to the major role of bubbles on or within water for ocean science7 and global climate science ("bright water"8).
