The controller is configured to modulate light intensity from the fiber. The controller can be configured to form a display image that passes through the optical device. The display system can include an optical combiner configured to reflect the display image from the optical device and form a virtual image. The optical device can be configured to magnify a display image from the display and form a virtual image.

Abstract: System and method for sensing movement such as chest movement of each of a plurality of target test subjects by: transmitting, at each of N transmitting antennas (TXs) of a phased multiple-input multiple-output (phased-MIMO) radar, a common frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal in each of a plurality of time division multiplex (TDM) slots, each TDM slot having associated with it a respective weight selected in accordance with a transmit steering vector configured to cause a coherent summation of transmitted signal in a desired direction ?0 toward at least one target; receiving target-reflected energy associated with the transmitted FMCW signals at a virtual array formed by stacking signal from P TDM slots received via M receiving antennas (RXs) of the phased-MIMO radar; and processing an output of the virtual array to extract therefrom signal received from the desired direction ?0 to determine thereby target movement in the desired direction ?0.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens includes a hybrid plano-convex refractive lens body having a convex portion and a planar portion. A metasurface array can be associated with the planar portion and include an arrangement of metasurface building elements dimensioned from an optical wavelength. The metasurface building elements can be configured across the lens body to define an optical characteristic of the ophthalmic lens. The arrangement of metasurface building elements can include meta-atoms that are configured to induce a polarization-dependent focusing of light received by the ophthalmic lens. A shape of the meta-atoms of the array can be determined based on a function of the ophthalmic lens, including glare/halo reduction. The meta-atoms can be formed as canonical and/or freeform shapes.
