WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 [Category: Medical] -- Optica, formerly the Optical Society, posted the following news release:

Metasurfaces show promise in boosting AR image clarity and brightness
New design could make augmented reality glasses more power-efficient and practical for everyday wear
*
Researchers have designed and demonstrated a new optical component that could significantly enhance the brightness and image quality of augmented reality (AR) glasses. The advance brings AR glasses a step closer to becoming as commonplace and useful as today's smartphones.
"Many of today's AR headsetsare bulky and have a short battery life with displays that are dim and hard to see, especially outdoors," said research team leader Nick Vamivakas from the University of Rochester. "By creating a much more efficient input port for the display, our work could help make AR glasses much brighter and more power-efficient, moving them from being a niche gadget to something as light and comfortable as a regular pair of eyeglasses."
In the journal Optical Materials Express, the researchers describe how they replaced a single waveguide in-coupler the input port where the image enters the glass with one featuring three specialized zones, each made of a metasurface material, to achieve improved performance.
"We report the first experimental proof that this complex, multi-zone design works in the real world," said Vamivakas. "While our focus is on AR, this high-efficiency, angle-selective light coupling technology could also be used in other compact optical systems, such as head-up displays for automotive or aerospace applications or in advanced optical sensors."
Metasurface-powered AR
In AR glasses, the waveguide in-coupler injects images from a micro-display into the lenses so that virtual content appears overlaid with the real world. However, the in-couplers used in today's AR glasses tend to reduce image brightness and clarity.
To overcome these problems, the researchers used metasurface technology to create an in-coupler with three specialized zones. Metasurfaces are ultra-thin materials patterned with features thousands of times smaller than a human hair, enabling them to bend, focus or filter light in ways conventional lenses cannot.
"Metasurfaces offer greater design and manufacturing flexibility than traditional optics," said Vamivakas. "This work to improve the in-coupler, a primary source of light loss, is part of a larger project aimed at using metasurfaces to design the entire waveguide system, including the input port, output port and all the optics that guide the light in between."
For the new in-coupler, the researchers designed metasurface patterns that efficiently catch incoming light and dramatically reduce how much light leaks back out. The metasurfaces also preserve the shape of the incoming light, which is essential for maintaining high image quality.
This research builds on earlier theoretical work by the investigators that showed a multi-zone in-coupler offered the best efficiency and image quality. Vamivakas says that advances in metasurface gratings enabled the design flexibility to create three precisely tailored zones while state-of-the-art fabrication methods including electron-beam lithography and atomic layer deposition provided the precision needed to build the complex, high-aspect-ratio nanostructures.
"This paper is the first to bridge the gap from that idealized theory to a practical, real-world component," said Vamivakas. "We also developed an optimization process that accounts for realistic factors like material loss and non-ideal efficiency sums, which the theory alone did not."

To demonstrate the new in-coupler, the researchers fabricated and tested each of the three metasurface zones individually using a custom-built optical setup. They then tested the fully assembled three-zone device as a complete system using a similar setup to measure the total coupling efficiency across the entire horizontal field of view from -10deg to 10deg.
The measurements showed strong agreement with simulations across most of the field of view. The average measured efficiency across the field was 30%, which closely matched the simulated average of 31%. The one exception was at the very edge of the field of view, at -10deg, where the measured efficiency was 17% compared to the simulated 25.3%. The researchers attribute this to the design's high angular sensitivity at that exact angle as well as potential minor fabrication imperfections.
The researchers are now working to apply the new metasurface design and optimization framework to other components of the waveguide to demonstrate a complete, high-efficiency metasurface-based system. Once this is accomplished, they plan to expand the design from a single color (green) to full-color (RGB) operation and then refine the design to improve fabrication tolerance and minimize the efficiency drop at the edge of the field of view.
The researchers point out that for this technology to be practical enough for commercialization, it will be necessary to demonstrate a fully integrated prototype that pairs the in-coupler with a real micro-display engine and an out-coupler. A robust, high-throughput manufacturing process must also be developed to replicate the complex nanostructures at a low cost.

CPAs Across America Join Forces to Inspire Students to Pursue Accounting Careers
November is Accounting Opportunities Experience month, a period designed to showcase the accounting profession among high school students across the country.
*
Accounting Opportunities Experience (AOE), a month-long nationwide initiative designed to introduce high school students to the dynamic opportunities available within the accounting profession, kicked off for the fourth consecutiveyear on November 3.
Throughout November, CPAs and state CPA societies across the United States will host classroom visits, career fairs and community events aimed at inspiring the next generation of accounting professionals. The goal this year is to reach 50,000 high school students through in-person and virtual engagement activities.
Many states have officially designated November -- or specific weeks and days within the month -- as "Accounting Month," "Accounting Week," or "Accounting Day," reflecting a nationwide commitment to promoting accounting as a rewarding and accessible career path.
AOE month also includes International Accounting Day on Monday, November 10, a global celebration recognizing the essential contributions of accountants to business transparency, economic growth and public trust.
"The future of accounting depends on reaching students early and showing them that this profession is about far more than numbers -- it's about trust, purpose and impact," said Mark Koziel, CPA, CGMA, President and CEO of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). "When we all work together to bring the profession into classrooms and communities, we make the pathway to accounting more visible. Every conversation we have this month with a student can spark an interest that lasts a lifetime."
The AICPA encourages CPAs nationwide to visit their state CPA society website to learn how they can participate in local AOE month initiatives, including classroom presentations, student mentorships and community events. Educators and professionals can access free resources and ready-to-use templates through the ThisWayToCPA.com website.

CNBC/NRF Retail Monitor's October Data Shows 'Continued Momentum' Going Into Holiday Season
Retail sales bounced back in October, showing both monthly and year-over-year gains heading into the holiday shopping season, according to the CNBC/NRF Retail Monitor, powered by Affinity Solutions, released today by the National Retail Federation.
"Retail sales grew in October as consumers geared up for the holiday season," NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. "Recent economic data hasbeen mixed, yet consumer spending remains solid -- supported by wage growth outpacing inflation, historically low unemployment, and wealth effects from strong stock market valuations. These factors point to continued momentum heading into the holidays as consumers focus on family, friends and finding value to make their budgets go further."
Total retail sales, excluding automobile dealers and gasoline stations, were up 0.6% seasonally adjusted month over month and up 5% unadjusted year over year in October, according to the Retail Monitor. That compared with a decrease of 0.66% month over month and an increase of 5.42% year over year in September.
The Retail Monitor calculation of core retail sales (excluding restaurants in addition to automobile dealers and gasoline stations) was also up 0.6% month over month in October and up 4.89% year over year. That compared with a decrease of 0.49% month over month and an increase of 5.72% year over year in September.
Total sales were up 5.11% year over year for the first 10 months of the year and core sales were up 5.28%.
The October results come as NRF is forecasting that 2025 holiday sales will increase between 3.7% and 4.2% compared with 2024 to just over $1 trillion.
Chart: CNBC/NRF Retail Monitor
Unlike survey-based numbers collected by the Census Bureau, the Retail Monitor uses actual, anonymized credit and debit card purchase data compiled by Affinity Solutions and does not need to be revised monthly or annually.
October sales were up in all but two of nine categories on a yearly basis, led by digital products, clothing store and sporting goods stores, and were also up in all but two categories on a monthly basis. Specifics from key sectors include:
* Digital products (such as electronic books and games) were up 2.02% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 22.39% year over year unadjusted.
* Clothing and accessories stores were up 1.42% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 7.89% year over year unadjusted.
* Sporting goods, hobby, music and book stores were up 0.09% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 7.19% year over year unadjusted.
* General merchandise stores were up 0.58% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 6.99% year over year unadjusted.
* Electronics and appliance stores were up 0.13% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 6.58% year over year unadjusted.
* Grocery and beverage stores were up 0.59% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 4.08% year over year unadjusted.
* Health and personal care stores were up 0.58% month over month seasonally adjusted and up 1.9% year over year unadjusted.
* Furniture and home furnishings stores were down 0.08% month over month seasonally adjusted and down 1.7% year over year unadjusted.
* Building and garden supply stores were down 0.81% month over month seasonally adjusted and down 8.52% year over year unadjusted.

The November/December 2025 issue of AARP Bulletin highlights the growing number of "solo agers" in America -- people age 50 and older who live alone, without a spouse or partner or anyone else under the same roof. This group now comprises 24 million people -- 21% of 50-plus adults.
AARP's latest research dives into the lives of these solo agers, surveying over 500 individuals between theages of 50 and 95. The group includes people who have never been married as well as people who are divorced, separated or widowed.
Thirty-five percent of those surveyed agreed that freedom and autonomy are the best parts of living alone, while 22% said loneliness was the worst part. The article emphasizes the importance of a strong network of family, friends, neighbors and other caregivers for this group, and offers financial, legal, and social tips to help ensure autonomy and combat loneliness.
