摘要: A multi-layer waveguide display includes a base waveguide layer, one or more grating couplers on one or two surfaces of the base waveguide layer, an overcoat layer on each grating coupler of the one or more grating couplers and filling grating grooves of the grating coupler, and a first waveguide layer stack on a first side of the base waveguide layer. The first waveguide layer stack includes one or more polymer layers. Each of the one or more polymer layers is characterized by a respective refractive index lower than the refractive index of the base waveguide layer. Each polymer layer is formed in a plurality of process cycles, where each process cycle includes dispensing a two-dimensional array of droplets of a resin material to form a thin layer and cross-linking the thin layer to form a sublayer of the polymer layer.

摘要: A formulation for inkjet printing includes one or more solvents and a plurality of nanoparticles mixed with the one or more solvents. The plurality of nanoparticles has a first refractive index greater than 1.9. A method includes depositing a layer of the formulation by inkjet printing onto a substrate having a non-flat. The method thereby forms coating of the formulation having a first surface conforming to the non-flat surface of the substrate and a second surface, opposite to the first surface, being a flat surface. An optical device includes a surface relief grating and a coating layer disposed on the surface relief grating. The coating layer includes a plurality of nanoparticles having a refractive index greater than 1.45 and a resin. The plurality of nanoparticles has functional ligands cross-linked with the resin.

摘要: Gray-tone lithography techniques for controlling the thickness profile of an overcoat layer on a surface-relief grating that has a non-uniform grating parameter (e.g., depth, duty cycle, or period), compensating for the non-uniform etch rate in a large area, defining etch/block regions, and/or controlling the thickness of the grating layer.

摘要: The disclosure provides recording materials including halogenated derivatized monomers and polymers for use in volume Bragg gratings, including, but not limited to, volume Bragg gratings for holography applications. Several structures are disclosed for halogenated derivatized monomers and polymers for use in Bragg gratings applications, leading to materials with higher refractive index, low birefringence, and high transparency. The disclosed halogenated derivatized monomers and polymers thereof can be used in any volume Bragg gratings materials, including two-stage polymer materials where a matrix is cured in a first step, and then the volume Bragg grating is written by way of a second curing step of a monomer.

摘要: A method of fabricating gratings with variable grating depths including depositing a first grating material layer with a uniform thickness profile on a substrate, forming an etch mask layer having a variable thickness profile on the first grating material layer, etching the etch mask layer and the first grating material layer to change the uniform thickness profile of the first grating material layer to a non-uniform thickness profile, forming a patterned hard mask on the first grating material layer, and etching, using the patterned hard mask, the first grating material layer to form a grating with a variable depth in the first grating material layer.

摘要: Disclosed herein are techniques for fabricating straight or slanted variable-etch-depth gratings. A photoresist material for fabricating a variable-etch-depth grating in a substrate is sensitive to light with a wavelength shorter than 300 nm and has an etch rate comparable to the etch rate of the substrate. A depth of an exposed portion of a photoresist material layer including the photoresist material correlates with the exposure dose. After exposure using a gray-scale mask and development, the photoresist material layer has a non-uniform thickness. The photoresist material layer with the non-uniform thickness and the underlying substrate are etched using a straight etching or slanted etching process to form the straight or slanted variable-etch-depth grating in the substrate. The variable-etch-depth grating is characterized by a non-uniform depth profile corresponding to the non-uniform thickness of the photoresist material layer before etching.
