Holographic superimposition of real world plenoptic opacity modulation through transparent waveguide arrays for light field, virtual and augmented reality
Disclosed are transparent energy relay waveguide systems for the superimposition of holographic opacity modulation states for holographic, light field, virtual, augmented and mixed reality applications. The light field system may comprise one or more energy waveguide relay systems with one or more energy modulation elements, each energy modulation element configured to modulate energy passing therethrough, whereby the energy passing therethrough may be directed according to 4D plenoptic functions or inverses thereof.
FIBER OPTIC PLATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
In an FOP 1, a glass body 8 is configured by including antimicrobial glass portions 10 made of antimicrobial glass containing Ag.sub.2O. Here, the glass containing silver does not have chemical durability, so that it has properties to easily emit Ag ions due to moisture. Ag ions have an excellent antimicrobial effect. Therefore, by configuring the glass body 8 to include the antimicrobial glass portions 10 containing Ag.sub.2O, the glass body 8 can obtain a sterilization effect due to the action of Ag ions. Therefore, the FOP 1 can be provided with antimicrobial activities.

Electronic devices having image transport layers and electrical components
An electronic device may have a display with pixels configured to display an image. The pixels may be overlapped by a cover layer. The display may have peripheral edges with curved cross-sectional profiles. An inactive area in the display may be formed along a peripheral edge of the display or may be surrounded by the pixels. Electrical components such as optical components may be located in the inactive area. An image transport layer may be formed from a coherent fiber bundle or Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may overlap the pixels, may have an opening that overlaps portions of the inactive area, may have an output surface that overlap portions of the inactive area, and/or may convey light associated with optical components in the electronic device.
Interferometer array imaging system using photonic integrated circuit cards
An imaging system can include of a plurality of pairs of lenslets and a respective plurality of two-dimensional arrays of photonic waveguides arranged in a respective plurality of photonic integrated circuits. Each waveguide can collect light in an airy-disk-size bin to cover a full field of view of the lenslet. Light from each pair of respective waveguides from each pair of lenslets can be demultiplexed into wavelength bins and combined with appropriate phase shifts to enable a measurement of the complex visibility. The complex visibilities from all of the measurements then can be processed to form an image.
VIDEO CAPTURE, PROCESSING, CALIBRATION, COMPUTATIONAL FIBER ARTIFACT REMOVAL, AND LIGHT-FIELD PIPELINE
An image capture system includes a plurality of image sensors arranged in a pattern such that gaps exist between adjacent image sensors of the plurality of image sensors. Each of the image sensors may be configured to capture sensor image data. The image capture system may also have a main lens configured to direct incoming light along an optical path, a microlens array positioned within the optical path, and a plurality of tapered fiber optic bundles. Each tapered fiber optic bundle may have a leading end positioned within the optical path, and a trailing end positioned proximate one of the image sensors. The leading end may have a larger cross-sectional area than the trailing end. Sensor data from the image sensors may be combined to generate a single light-field image that is substantially unaffected by the gaps.
IMAGING SENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
An imaging sensor includes at least one fiber Bragg grating for filtering an image from a subject for wavelength bands, and an imaging device for converting an image transmitted through the fiber Bragg grating into a digital signal.

APPARATUS FOR COMPENSATING DISPLAYED IMAGE AND DISPLAY ASSEMBLY
An image compensating apparatus for portraying a seamless display in a display comprising multiple screens includes a light incident surface set on the display region, a light emitting surface parallel to the light incident surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels parallel to each other. The display panel includes display and non-display regions, the non-display region surrounding a periphery of the display region. The light guiding channels interconnect with the light incident surface and the light emitting surface, and form angles with the light incident surface. A projection of each of the light guiding channels on the light incident surface is parallel to a diagonal line of the light incident surface. Viewed perpendicular to the light incident surface, the light guiding channel transposes an image displayable on the display region along a first direction and a second direction for covering at least part of the non-display region.
