A k-domain method for fast propagation of electromagnetic fields through graded-index media
1 April | 12:30 – 12:45 | Session 1, Hall A
In this work we offer a k-domain-based method for the fast calculation of fields propagating through GRIN media. It is potentially fast because of two reasons: (1) in the k domain, Maxwell’s equations for GRIN media become ordinary differential equations, so that we can take advantage of Runge-Kutta-type mathematical approaches to reduce the numerical effort; (2) taking advantage of fast Fourier transform algorithms to convert the convolution-type calculation (O(N2)) into a multiplication (O(N)).
Optimization of Coupling Gratings for Lightguide-Based Displays
1 April | 17:00 – 17:15 | Session 3, Hall A
Recently, lightguide-based display devices are drawing growing interest, and one of the key technologies of such devices is the coupling gratings for the lightguides. In this work, we start with the optimization of coupling gratings for a single incident direction and analyze the effect when such optimized gratings are used in different situations. By that, it will be shown that getting uniformly high efficiencies over a wide field of view (FOV) is very challenging.
