Roadmap on holography

From its inception holography has proven an extremely productive and attractive area of research. While specific technical applications give rise to 'hot topics', and three-dimensional (3D) visualisation comes in and out of fashion, the core principals involved continue to lead to exciting innovations in a wide range of areas. We humbly submit that it is impossible, in any journal document of this type, to fully reflect current and potential activity; however, our valiant contributors have produced a series of documents that go no small way to neatly capture progress across a wide range of core activities. As editors we have attempted to spread our net wide in order to illustrate the breadth of international activity. In relation to this we believe we have been at least partially successful.This work was supported by Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (Spain) under projects FIS2017-82919-R (MINECO/AEI/FEDER, UE) and FIS2015-66570-P (MINECO/FEDER), and by Generalitat Valenciana (Spain) under project PROMETEO II/2015/015

Selective Couplers Based on Multiplexed Volume Holographic Gratings for Waveguide Displays

Diffraction waveguides are widely used in augmented reality devices as information display systems for the introduction of data into the human visual field in order to supplement information about the world around us. This paper formulates the principles of radiation conversion in diffraction waveguides made of photo-thermo-refractive glass on the basis of multiplexed volume holographic gratings, and the advantages and disadvantages of high spectral-angular selectivity are analyzed. In the optical scheme, each of the superimposed volume holographic gratings in the diffraction waveguide forms a corresponding part of the composite angular field of view of the augmented reality device. A proposed mathematical model based on angular multiplexing made it possible to synthesize the diffraction optical element for a new type of diffraction waveguide made from photo-thermo-refractive glass and to create a prototype with an angular resolution of at least 3.0 ± 0.5′, with a brightness change in the image of less than 20% and with a composite angular field of view of 32°

Nontrivial Intramolecular Interaction in Ozonation of Dimethyl Ester of endo,cis-bicyclo[2,2,1]hept-5-en-2,3-dicarbonic acid in diethyl ether

The formation of the product of intramolecular interaction of a zwitterion and a methoxycarbonyl group was observed in the process of ozonating dimethyl ester of endo,cis-bicyclo [2,2,1]hept-5-en-2,3-dicarbonic acid in diethyl ether. The structure of racemic endo,cis-4-methoxy-5-methoxycarbonyl-6-formyl-1,4-epoxy-2,3-dioxacyclopenta[2,3-δ] cyclohexane was established by an X-ray structure analysis
