    摘要: Markedly increased optical efficiency for a first diffraction order of incident wave energy, such as light, is derived from a layer of transparent material having effectively two serially spaced sinusoidal phase gratings of the same line spacing, each formed as a surface relief pattern thereon, by prescribing the thickness of the layer, the amplitude of the gratings, the respective indices-of-refraction of the layers and of transparent materials bounding the phase grating surfaces thereof, and the angle of incidence of the wave energy.

    摘要: Embodiments described provide for waveguide combiners with phase matching regions. The waveguide includes one or more gratings. The one or more gratings includes grating structures disposed over a waveguide substrate. A phase matching region is disposed over the waveguide substrate between the one or more gratings and a waveguide region. The phase matching region includes a waveguide layer having a thickness varying from a first end to a second end of the waveguide layer, or a plurality of structures having depths therebetween. The one or more of the depths are different from each other, or at least two or more structures of the plurality of structures have a first duty cycle different than a second duty cycle of the plurality of structures.

    摘要: A diffractive optical element includes: a substrate having a surface on which a diffraction grating is provided; and a resin layer provided on the surface of the substrate so as to cover the diffraction grating, wherein, in plan view as viewed along an optical axis direction, the diffraction grating includes: a first diffraction grating having a circular shape; and a second diffraction grating having an arc shape, the second diffraction grating being arranged on an outer side of the first diffraction grating, wherein the diffractive optical element includes an optical effective region and a non-optical effective region surrounding the optical effective region, wherein the second diffraction grating has an arc end positioned in the non-optical effective region, and wherein a thickness of the resin layer provided in the non-optical effective region is larger than a thickness of the resin layer provided in the optical effective region.

    摘要: Techniques of generating a wavefront modulating element (WME) for imaging an object over a large image field include (i) designing a WME by breaking a large image into smaller sub-images and then applying an inverse imaging operation to find a segment of a plurality of segments (324-1 to-334-n) of a WME (in the from of DOE) producing a sub-image, and (ii) specifying an optical system to illuminate the WME resulting from each of the plurality of segments in such a way that the large image is reproduced as closely as possible. Along these lines, given a large target image in the far-field, a WME generation system decomposes the target image into sub-images. From this decomposition, the WME generation system then produces WME segments corresponding to the sub-images. The WME segments are then arranged in an optical system such that abeam of electromagnetic radiation (316) is reproduced into sub-beams that are normally incident on the WME segments (for example by gratings 332 diffracting light towards a DOE and back into a lightguide 320).
