Abstract: The problem of 3D panel display systems either (a) requiring special glasses to separate left and right viewing images, or (b) having auto-stereoscopic 3D with compromised fidelity, is solved by providing a projection three dimensional (3D) display system for providing glass-free, 3D display to a plurality of viewing volumetric pairs (VVAs) in space corresponding to a hypothetical plurality of viewers' eye aperture pairs, the projection 3D display system comprising: (a) a dual-image projector configured to project both a left viewing tri-color image and a right viewing tri-color image; and (b) means for (1) receiving a tri-color mixed input beam encompassing the left and right viewing tri-color images, (2) multiplying the tri-color mixed input beam into a plurality of tri-color mixed output beams, and (3) focusing the plurality of tri-color mixed beams for viewing at the VVAs.

Abstract: A holographic 3D display system is described that (1) always presents true-colored and true-orthoscopic 3D images regardless of whether the object is thin or thick, or the image is virtual or real and (2) accomplishes an effective data/signal compression apparatus that accommodates to both off-the-shelf detector and display arrays, of both amicable gross array dimensions and palpable individual pixel sizes.

Abstract: The problem of 3D panel display systems either (a) requiring special glasses to separate left and right images, or (b) having auto-stereoscopic 3D with compromised fidelity, is solved by providing, for each of a plurality of left and right sub-pixels, both (1) means for separating the left and right image signals (e.g., alternating wedges, prisms, off-axis self-sourcing pixels, etc.), and (2) means for multiplexing the separated left and right signals to a plurality of viewers (e.g., gratings, such as amplitude gratings, phase gratings, etc.), such that (1) the left image is provided to a plurality of virtual volume apertures (VVAL) containing positions of the left eyes of the plurality of viewers, and (2) the right image is provided to a plurality of virtual volume apertures (VVAR) containing positions of the right eyes of the plurality of viewers.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting the presence or amount or rate of binding of an analyte in a sample solution is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical assembly having first and second reflecting surfaces separated by a distance “d” greater than 50 nm, where the first surface is formed by a layer of analyte-binding molecules, and a light source for directing a beam of light onto said first and second reflecting surface. A detector in the apparatus operates to detect a change in the thickness of the first reflecting layer resulting from binding of analyte to the analyte-binding molecules, when the assembly is placed in the solution of analyte, by detecting a shift in phase of light waves reflected from the first and second surfaces.

Abstract: A fiber optic bioprobe in which an immobilized biolayer, such as an antigen or antibody, acts as a sensing etalon of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The bioprobe is used in a system in which a shift in the spectral dispersion pattern, caused by reflected out-of-phase beams, is used to determine a concentration of a substance in a sample solution.
