摘要： A method of testing a coating on a reflector having a first focal point includes placing a mirror at the first focal point of the reflector and angled to orient with an area on the coating. Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is directed to the mirror which then directs the EM radiation on the area. The EM radiation which is reflected from the coating is collected onto a sensor disposed at a second focal point. The intensity of the EM radiation collected on the sensor is detected.

摘要： A modulator for a projection system includes a surface having a number of pixels defined thereon corresponding to pixels of the projection system. The pixel areas have shapes that counter a distortion of a lens of the projection system, such that distortion effects of the lens are reduced, and/or the side profile of the surface matches a field curvature of the lens of the projection system, such that field curvature effects of the lens are reduced.

摘要： A light coupling system includes a waveguide, configured to receive light from at least two light sources and to internally reflect light therein; a diffraction grating, disposed upon the waveguide; and a switchable Bragg grating, disposed upon the waveguide. The diffraction grating is configured to couple light from at least one of the light sources into the waveguide, and the switchable Bragg grating is configured to selectively couple light out of the waveguide, such that the light from the at least two light sources is selectively directed along a common projection axis.

摘要： A method of reducing stray light contribution of a display system is described. Light rays are directed to at least one pixel of the display system and the light rays are modulated to form modulated light. In addition, the modulated light is directed to display optics, and the reflected light is directed away from the display optics.
