Lightguide with 2D Grating Structures (diamond-shaped) based on Patent by WaveOptics

Abstract


Most innovative AR & MR devices nowadays are based on lightguide or waveguide systems in combination with microstructures for in- and outcouple of the light. VirtualLab Fusion is capable of detailed modeling of such devices by applying our unique physical optics approach, including all effects (e.g. coherence, polarization and diffraction). We demonstrate this capability by modeling a device mentioned in patent WO2018/178626, consisting of complex 1D and 2D-perodic grating structures.
