VirtualLab Fusion Technology and Applications: Interferometry, Microscopy and Fiber Coupling

Participants discovered the Fast Physical Optics concept with VirtualLab Fusion by means of seminar modules on technology and different applications. After a brief insight into the theory and the different electromagnetic modeling techniques we discussed the application fields of interferometry, microscopy and fiber coupling.

Design and Optimization Strategy of Coupling Gratings for Near-Eye Displays

Waveguide-based near-eye display devices are drawing much interest recently, and one of the key technologies of such devices is the incoupling grating for the planar waveguide. Based on an analysis in the spatial-frequency domain, we put forward a design strategy which helps to determine the supported field-of-view, and to find a reasonable value of the grating period and orientation.
