Coded aperture snap shot spectral imager (CASSI) is a potential method to get hyperspectral images. One of the latest designs of CASSI is a dual-camera design, which adds a grayscale camera to capture the same scene. In this paper, an improved method based on two-step iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithms (TwIST) is proposed to utilize the images containing the information of the structure of the objects from the grayscale camera more efficiently. The information come from the auxiliary camera and the CASSI detector is used to construct an estimated 3D hyperspectral data. Then we use TwIST and TV regularization to reconstruct the residual image based on the residual data. The final reconstructed hyperspectral image equals the sum of the estimated image and the reconstruct residual image. This method ensures that the result is more similar to the structure of the original image. The simulation results show that our method improves the image quality of the reconstructed hyperspectral images for all the data we have tried. The simulation results show that our method improves the image quality of the reconstructed hyperspectral images and use less run time compared to the original method. The corresponding peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is increased by 8.99 dB. The structural similarity (SSIM) is increased by 0.0757. The spectrum angular mapper (SAM) is reduced by 0.1987.
In recent years, Augmented reality (AR) technology has gained great attention. One critical component of AR devices is the see-through optical combiner. Several approaches have been proposed, such as using either refractive, reflective, diffractive, holographic optics, or a combination of them. Meta-surfaces can realize the design of more required optical element due to its superb abilities of controlling the amplitude, phase, polarization or other parameters of wave-front at subwavelength scale. Thus, we proposed a waveguide coupler based on a polarization independent doublet meta-surface, which can realize field of view (FOV) to 50° at the wavelength of 638 nm. Compare to the diffractive grating based optical combiner architecture, our doublet meta-surfaces improve the problem of FOV limited by the refractive index of the waveguide and uneven brightness in AR display devices. The polarization independent doublet meta-surfaces presented in this paper can provide a large phase mutation rate to achieve a large deflection angle. The meta-surfaces consist of a group of Silicon nanofins with different side length, but same height arranged on a rectangle glass substrate lattice with the reflection index of 1.764. Each unit structure has different electromagnetic responses to plane electromagnetic waves with different incident angles. By designing the shape and size of each silicon nanorods and other parameters, the phase and amplitude modulation we need can be achieved. Here we only consider one-dimensional eye-box expansion at a single wavelength. The design approach can be generalized to two-dimensional eye-box expansion. Besides, full-color display can be achieved by coordination of the coupling-in and coupling-out device in waveguides.

The widespread use of holographic VR/AR devices are limited by bulky refractive and diffractive optics. To address these problems, a NED system combining the 3D CGH based on Fraunhofer diffraction and a metalens with 5 mm diameter as an eyepiece is proposed in this paper. Because of the capability of wavefront shaping in a subwavelength scale, the metalens eyepiece surly facilitates lightening the CGH-NED systems. Experiments are carried out for this design, where Fraunhofer diffraction with digital lens phases of different focal lengths are applied, and the metalens transforms the holographic reconstructed 3D image into virtual image to realize NED. The metalens eyepiece composed of silicon nitride anisotropic nanofins is fabricated with the diffraction efficiency and field of view for 532 nm incidence of 15.7% and 31°, respectively. Our work combining of CGH and metalens may provide a promising solution in future for computer-generated holographic 3D portable display.
Spectral imaging can capture both spatial and spectral data of a scene, providing an efficient technique for analysis and identification. To improve the efficiency of data acquisition, compressive sensing (CS) methods have been introduced into spectral imaging systems. In this work, we propose a novel macropixel segmentation method to realize effective and non-mechanical single-pixel multispectral imaging. A series of macropixel-based patterns are designed to modulate data cube of target object. Spatial light modulator (SLM) and multispectral filter array are utilized to generate such patterns. CS algorithm is used to recover data cube from 1-D signal acquired by a single-pixel detector. Alignment of binary patterns with the subareas of macropixel filter array is conducted in the experimental set-up. Without mechanical or dispersive structure, the proposed method holds great potential in miniaturization and integration of spectral imaging devices.
Augmented reality (AR) technology has been applied in various areas, such as large-scale manufacturing, national defense, healthcare, movie and mass media and so on. An important way to realize AR display is using computer-generated hologram (CGH), which is accompanied by low image quality and heavy computing defects. Meanwhile, the diffraction of Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) has a negative effect on image quality. In this paper, a modified algorithm based on traditional Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm was proposed to improve the image quality, and new method to establish experimental system was used to broaden field of view (FOV). In the experiment, undesired zero-order diffracted light was eliminated and high definition 2D image was acquired with FOV broadened to 36.1 degree. We have also done some pilot research in 3D reconstruction with tomography algorithm based on Fresnel diffraction. With the same experimental system, experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of 3D reconstruction. These modifications are effective and efficient, and may provide a better solution in AR realization.
