We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel method for generating a chiral beam with controllable intensity twist lobes and direction by using annular subzone (AS) vortex phase plates, which is composed of different ASs and different vortex phases. The phase distribution continuity between two adjacent ASs determines the intensity distribution of the light field. The rotated direction of the optical filed is determined by the topological charge sign. The number of intensity twist lobes is determined by the topological charge gradient between adjacent subzones. The experimental results show that this method is effective and practical, which offers broad potential applications in particle manipulation, chiral microstructure fabrication, and optical tweezers.

One of the important features of tabletop 3D displays is the annular viewing area above the display system. In this paper, we propose an annular sector elemental image array (ASEIA) generation method for the tabletop integral imaging 3D display to form the annular viewing zone with smooth motion parallax. The effective pixels of the elemental images are distributed as annular sector, and they are mapped from the perspective images captured by the ring-shaped camera array.

The conventional hand tendon zones and subzones do not reflect the actual lengths covered by the involved locus of the tendon during full digital and wrist motion, which warrant reappraisal of the tendon zone concept. Because of the tendon excursions many lacerations should be regarded as multiple zone injuries. Furthermore, the length-spans of glide of the distal tendon stump and of the tendon junction (i.

However, the typical method used for forming three-dimensional (3D) multifocal spots based on iterative algorithms limits the potential applications. We demonstrate a non-iterative method using annular subzone phases (ASPs) that are composed of many annular subareas in which phase-only distributions with different 3D displacements are filled.
