Abstract: A system includes a surface relief grating configured to forwardly diffract an input beam as two linearly polarized beams. The system also includes a waveplate optically coupled with the surface relief grating and configured to convert the two linearly polarized beams into two circularly polarized beams having orthogonal circular polarizations. The two circularly polarized beams having orthogonal circular polarizations interfere with one another to generate a polarization interference pattern.

Abstract: A device includes a light guide and an in-coupling element coupled with the light guide and configured to couple an input image light into the light guide. The device also includes an out-coupling element coupled with the light guide and configured to couple the input image light out of the light guide as an output image light, and a controller configured to control at least one of the in-coupling element or the out-coupling element during a first time period and a second time period. The out-coupling element outputs a first output image light having a first field of view (“FOV”) during the first time period, and a second output image light having a second FOV during the second time period. The first FOV substantially overlaps with the second FOV, and an axis of symmetry of the first FOV is rotated relative to an axis of symmetry of the second FOV.

Abstract: A device includes a Pancharatnam-Berry phase (“PBP”) film stack configured to diffract an input beam as a first polarized beam and a second polarized beam having opposite handednesses. A combined diffraction efficiency of the PBP film stack for the first and second polarized beams is greater than a predetermined value. The device also includes a compensation film stack coupled with the PBP film stack, and configured to respectively convert the first polarized beam and the second polarized beam into a third polarized beam and a fourth polarized beam having the opposite handednesses. The first and second polarized beams include at least one elliptically polarized beam, and the third and fourth polarized beams are two circularly polarized beams. The compensation film stack is configured to convert the at least one elliptically polarized beam into at least one of the two circularly polarized beams.

Abstract: A system for measuring a satellite ghost efficiency of a diffractive lens is provided. The system includes a light source configured to output a first probing beam, and a beam tweaking assembly disposed between the light source and the diffractive lens, and configured to convert the first probing beam into a second probing beam that is a non-collimated beam.

Abstract: According to examples, a depth sensing apparatus may include an illumination source to output a light beam onto a polarizing beam separation element (PBSE). The PBSE may generate a right hand circularly polarized (RCP) beam and a left hand circularly polarized (LCP) beam to be projected onto a target area, in which the RCP beam and the LCP beam may create an interference with respect to each other. The depth sensing apparatus also includes an imaging component to capture an image of the target area with the RCP beam and the LCP beam projected on the target area, in which the captured image is to be analyzed for depth sensing of the target area. The depth sensing apparatus further includes a polarizer that may increase an intensity of the interference pattern.

Abstract: A method includes providing a radiation with a predetermined intensity profile. The method also includes providing a photo-sensitive medium layer including a mixture of a photo-sensitive material and an absorbing additive. The absorbing additive has a predetermined non-uniform distribution in at least one of a direction within a film plane or a thickness direction of the photo-sensitive medium layer. The predetermined non-uniform distribution of the absorbing additive is configured to result in a predetermined non-uniform absorption of the radiation. The method also includes exposing the photo-sensitive medium layer to the radiation to form a polymer film. The optical film includes at least one predetermined birefringence variation in at least one of a direction within a film plane or a thickness direction of the polymer film.
