Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to image viewing systems. In one aspect, an image viewing system includes a projection system (104, 504, 604), and a dynamically reconfigurable screen (102, 502, 602). The projection system projects two or more images of perspective views of objects or a scene onto the screen. The screen is dynamically reconfigured to separately reflect each image to an associated viewing zone, enabling a viewer looking at the screen to the view the objects or the scene from different viewing zones

A light amplifying structure 100 for Raman spectroscopy includes a a resonant cavity 108. A distance between a first portion 102B and a second portion 102A of the structure 100 forming the resonant cavity 108 is used to amplify excitation light emitted from a light source 420 into the resonant cavity 108 at a first resonant frequency of the resonant cavity 108. Also, the resonant cavity 108 amplifies radiated light radiated from a predetermined molecule excited by the excitation light in the resonant cavity at a second resonant frequency of the resonant cavity 108.

This disclosure is directed to image viewing systems. In one aspect, an image viewing system includes a curved screen with a concave viewing surface, and an array of projectors. Each projector is positioned to project a different image onto the viewing surface from a different angle and the viewing surface is to reflect each image to a different viewing area with a horizontal scattering angle that defines the size of each viewing area. A viewer located in at least one viewing area is to receive a reflected image that enters one or both of the viewer's eyes when the viewer looks at the viewing surface.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to dynamically reconfigurable hologram comprising a phase-modulation layer and an intensity-control layer. The phase modulation layer comprises an electronically programmable erasable negative index material crossbar. The crossbar includes a first layer of approximately parallel nanowires (502) and a second layer of approximately parallel nanowires (504) that overlay the nanowires in the first layer. The nanowires in the first and second layers have substantially regularly spaced fingers. The crossbar also includes resonant elements (812) comprising a chalcogenide-based layer (1000) sandwiched between the nanowire in the first layer and the nanowire in the second layer.

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to systems that can be used as holograms and can be electronically controlled and dynamically reconfigured to generate three-dimensional motion picture images. In one embodiment, a dynamically reconfigurable hologram (1200) comprises a phase-control layer (1202) including a two-dimensional array of phase-modulation pixels (1212). The hologram also comprises an intensity-control layer (1204) including a two-dimensional array of intensity-control pixels (1214). One or more three-dimensional motion pictures can be produced by electronically addressing the individual phase-modulation pixels and intensity-control pixels in order to phase and control the intensity of light emanating from pixels of the hologram.
