To do so\, new micro- and nan o-fabrication challenges need to be addressed\, specifically more efficien t waveguide combiners and smaller display engines and sensor fusion system s. Novel nanofabrication techniques are needed to improve the performance of flat optical display systems while allowing for mass production at cons umer cost levels. Such novel nano-fabrication technologies push the envelo pe beyond what is possible today with traditional nano-imprint lithography .\n\nSpeaker Biography\nBernard has been involved in Optics and Photonics for the past 25 years as an author\, instructor\, associate professor\, en gineer\, and hardware development manager in academia\, start-ups and mult inational corporations\, with a focus on micro-optics\, diffractive and ho lographic optics. He successively worked on product developments in the fi elds of optical computing\, optical telecom\, optical data storage\, optic al anti-counterfeiting\, industrial optical sensors and more recently in i mmersive displays for augmented and mixed reality systems. Bernard publish ed several books\, holds close to 100 patents\, and wrote a few hundred pa pers on these topics.\nHe is the 2023 President of the International Socie ty for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He also set up and chairs various SPIE conferences including the SPIE AR/VR/MR co-located with Photonics West an d the SPIE Digital Optical Technologies co-located with Laser Munich. He i s also a short course instructor on micro-optics and ARVR displays and hos ts the monthly online SPIE AR|VR|MR fireside chats. Bernard held engineeri ng management positions at Google [X] Labs since 2010 (Google Glass) and M icrosoft since 2015 (HoloLens).
