In this paper we propose an optical see-through multi-plane display with reverse-mode polymer-stabilized liquid crystal (PSLC). Our design solves the problem of accommodation-vergence conflict with correct focus cues. In the reverse mode PSLC system, power consumption could be reduced to ~1/(N-1) of that in a normal mode system if N planes are displayed. The PSLC films fabricated in our experiment exhibit a low saturation voltage ~20 V, a high transparent-state transmittance (92%), and a fast switching time within 2 ms and polarization insensitivity. A proof-of-concept two-plane color display prototype and a four-plane monocolor display prototype were implemented.

Augmented reality (AR) aims to combine elements of the surrounding environment with additional virtual content into a combined viewing scene. Displaying virtual human faces is a widespread practical application of AR technology, which can be challenging in optical see-through AR (OST-AR) because of limitations in its color reproduction. Specifically, OST-AR's additive optical blending introduces transparency and color-bleeding, which is exacerbated especially for faces having darker skin tones, and for brighter and more chromatic ambient environments.

Laser-based displays are highly sought after for their superior brightness and colour performance, especially in advanced applications such as augmented reality (AR). However, their broader use has been hindered by bulky projector designs and complex optical module assemblies. Here we introduce a laser display architecture enabled by large-scale visible photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to address these challenges.

This study demonstrates the concept of Mixed Reality (MR) based slit lamp (MR-SLP), which can display real-time stereoscopic diagnostic images of the eye both locally and remotely, making it suitable for stereoscopic tele-ophthalmology applications. In MR-SLP, two high-resolution video cameras were mounted on the left and right viewing channels of a conventional slit lamp to capture corresponding diagnostic images in real time, which were then transmitted to multiple MR headsets via a broadcast network. The operator wears the MR headset to see the stereoscopic diagnostic images and operates the slit lamp using the MR's see-through function.

FLASH radiotherapy is a promising technique based on the delivery of ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) to spare healthy tissue. Robust quality assurance (QA) is required to ensure a safe delivery of the treatment. QA devices such as phantoms and ionization chambers (ICs) are typically made out of polymeric materials to ensure water equivalence.
