Article Abstract

Wide field of view and light weight optics are critical for advanced eyewear, with applications in augmented/virtual reality and night vision. Conventional refractive lenses are often stacked to correct aberrations at a wide field of view, leading to limited performance and increased size and weight. In particular, simultaneously achieving a wide field of view and large aperture for light collection is desirable but challenging to realize in a compact form-factor. Here, we demonstrate a wide field of view (greater than 60) meta-optic doublet eyepiece with an entrance aperture of 2.1 cm. At the design wavelength of 633 nm, the meta-optic doublet achieves comparable performance to a refractive lens-based eyepiece system. This meta-doublet eyepiece illustrates the potential for meta-optics to play an important role in the development of high-quality monochrome near-eye displays and night vision systems.

Essay: Photonic Crystals as a Platform to Explore New Physics.

Phys Rev Lett

August 2025

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Physics and Institute for Advanced Study, Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong SAR, China.

Photonic crystals are artificial materials characterized by a photonic band structure that governs the propagation of light waves. The photonic gap was originally introduced to inhibit spontaneous emission and facilitate photon localization. In this essay, I will highlight how, despite the established understanding of photonic crystals, they remain highly relevant today.

Minimally invasive and standardized thoracoscopic surgery for stage III empyema using a variable-view rigid endoscope.

Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

September 2025

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital, 2-12-12, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, 430-8558, Japan.

Thoracoscopic surgery for stage III acute empyema is often limited by poor visualization and anatomical complexity. We developed a standardized, minimally invasive approach using a variable-view rigid endoscope and fixed port placement, regardless of disease extent or patient physique. The variable-view endoscope enabled a wide, adjustable field of view without moving the camera shaft, allowing safe access even in the confined thoracic space.
