摘要: A multilayer reflective polarizer includes a layer of a birefringent organic solid crystal, where the birefringent organic solid crystal has a refractive index of at least approximately 1.5 and a birefringence of at least approximately 0.1. The multilayer reflective polarizer may be configured to include alternating layers of a birefringent organic solid crystal material and a secondary material layer selected from an amorphous polymer, an inorganic amorphous compound, a liquid crystal, and an OSC material. The refractive index of the birefringent organic solid crystal layer(s) may be modified through the application of an applied voltage, current, or stress.

摘要: A lightguide with partially reflective slanted polarization-selective bulk mirrors is disclosed. The lightguide may be used in a near-eye display with a polarized image source. The polarization-selective bulk mirrors reflect light of the polarized image source, and fully transmit light of the orthogonal polarization, causing the mirrors to be less conspicuous to an external viewer while preserving high efficiency of delivery of the image light to the viewer.

摘要: A notched filter includes a multilayer having alternating first and second polymer layers, the first polymer layers each including an isotropic polymer thin film having in-plane refractive indices n1x and n1y, and the second polymer layers each including an isotropic or anisotropic polymer thin film having in-plane refractive indices n2x and n2y, where a thickness of each successive first polymer layer decreases with increasing distance from a centerline of the multilayer, and a thickness of each successive second polymer layer increases with increasing distance from the centerline. Such a filter may be configured to reflect incident light having a desired polarization state within a predetermined and relatively narrow band.

摘要: An eye and environment sensing system for a head-mounted device may be configured to determine changes in an eye orientation and range objects in the environment by sharing a common light source. The eye and environment sensing system includes a light source, a first photodetector, and a second photodetector. The light source is coupled to a frame of a head-mounted device and configured to provide a light beam to illuminate a portion of an eyebox region. The first photodetector is coupled to the frame and is oriented towards the eyebox region to receive reflections of the light beam from the eyebox region. The second photodetector is coupled to the frame and is oriented towards a scene side of the head-mounted device to receive reflections of the light beam from an environment of the head-mounted device. With a shared light source, battery consumption in the head-mounted device may be reduced.

摘要: A far-field characteristic of light emitted by a micro light emitting diode (μLED) such as a beam shape, a beam orientation, a beam focusing, or a beam polarization is controlled by a metasurface of nanostructures formed on the μLED. The metasurface is characterized or defined by a far-field objective function for the emitted light, selection of a nanostructure shape, and application of one or more fabrication constraints to shape parameters for the selected nanostructure shape. A number and a location of the nanostructures is determined employing an adjoint simulation technique, and the shape parameters for the nanostructure are tuned employing a shape optimization technique.

摘要: A computer-implemented method may include (1) causing a radar component to emit one or more radar signals and (2) causing the radar component to analyze one or more return signals. Also disclosed is a method for forming a 3D liquid crystal polarization hologram optical element and a method for characterizing diffractive waveguides includes directing light onto a structure and measuring the diffracted light to capture at least one image of the structure. Lastly, disclosed is a method of pattering organic solid crystals and a method directing a beam of input light to a surface of an optical material to determine crystallographic and optical parameters of the optical material. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) compressive sensing based eye tracking system using single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors achieves high resolution depth measurement by using low resolution SPAD sensors and active encoded illumination such as two- or three-dimensional fringe patterns, random speckles, random patterns, and/or superimposed patterns projected onto a surface of an eye. The patterns may be projected by high speed illuminators such as a digital micromirror device (DMD) or micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) projector in series changing at the same rate as the SPAD sensor capture rate. A processor may employ compressive sensing techniques to obtain a high resolution image and depth information from the captured images of varying patterns.

摘要: A lighting assembly may include a light source and a reflective polarizer overlapping the light source. A portion of light that is incident on the reflective polarizer may not pass through the reflective polarizer and may be reflected back to the light source. The light source may include at least one of a light emitting diode (LED), a micro-LED, an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a micro-OLED, a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), or an fLCoS light source. The reflective polarizer may include a polymer birefringent multilayer structure of alternating first layers and second layers. The first layers may each include an isotropic polymer thin film the second layers each include an anisotropic polymer thin film. Various other devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

摘要: A multilayer polymer thin film includes an anti-reflective coating directly overlying a reflective polarizer stack. The reflective polarizer stack includes alternating first and second polymer layers, where the first layers include an isotropic polymer thin film and the second layers include an anisotropic polymer thin film. The anti-reflective coating (ARC) includes alternating third and fourth layers, where the third layers include an isotropic polymer thin film or an anisotropic polymer thin film and the fourth layers include an isotropic polymer thin film. The multilayer polymer thin film may be formed by co-extrusion where the reflective polarizer stack and the anti-reflective coating are formed simultaneously.
