The D85N genetic variant of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) displays a nearly permanent lifetime of the photochromic P(490) state. We present pump-probe measurements that demonstrate this behavior. However, diffraction efficiency measurements made from holograms recorded in a hydrated D85N film show markedly different decay behavior, suggesting that a molecular diffusion process is occurring in the film. Holograms recorded with different grating frequencies display correspondingly different decay times, thus supporting this hypothesis. A thin D85N film was fabricated that was chemically cross linked, resulting in the elimination of diffusion of BR molecules within the polymer matrix. This film exhibits a grating lifetime of the order of weeks or more, thus permitting the long-term holographic storage of information.

This Letter discusses the limitations of immersion-free recording schemes for holographic waveguide displays. Traditional holographic recording of waveguides requires recording angles exceeding the critical angle of the hologram-cladding interface. Achieving these angles necessitates edge-lit exposure using prisms and immersion liquids, which are challenging for roll-to-roll mass production and hinder widespread adoption.

Background: 21st century neurology will require scalable and quantitative tools that can improve neurologic evaluations over telehealth and expand access to care. Commercially available mixed-reality headsets allow for simultaneous presentation of stimuli via holograms projected into the real world and objective and quantitative measurement of hand movement, eye movement, and phonation.
New Method: We created 6 tasks designed to mimic standard neurologic assessments and administered them to a single participant via the Microsoft HoloLens 2 mixed-reality headset.

Purpose: This study examined the augmented reality (AR) application in design evaluations through an immersive experience of medical task simulations in combination with a full-scale physical mock-up of a trauma room.
Background: Augmented reality technology is emerging in various fields including architectural design. Traditionally, building physical mock-ups has been the most effective tool to involve end-users in design evaluations.

In this study, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method for designing low-cost, continuously spatially variable polarizers using polarization holography. We use these devices to generate vector vortex beams and detect scalar vortex beams. Our approach begins with designing polarization holograms that act as polarizers, each with distinct transmission axes recorded at various polar angles on polarization-sensitive materials using a dynamic recording system.
