Parallel Optics in Waveguide Displays

چکیده
In order to demonstrate the Wedge as a parallel optic we have built a flat panel multi-projector autostereoscopic 3D display. The bulk otherwise inherent in such displays has been eliminated by use of a wedge-shaped light-guide. Two 280mm (11”) diagonal VGA resolution views were formed on a 406mm (16”) diagonal screen by pointing a pair of LED-illuminated picoprojectors measuring 115x50x22mm into the 20 mm thick input face of a 710mm long acrylic wedge. Distortions introduced by the Wedge were reduced to less than 2% by predistortion algorithms and distortion between views was less than 0.4%. Between the projectors was placed an infra-red camera which imaged objects placed directly in front of the 3D screen.

Low-temperature THz time domain waveguide spectrometer with butt-coupled emitter and detector crystal.
A compact high-resolution THz time-domain waveguide spectrometer that is operated inside a cryostat is demonstrated. A THz photo-Dember emitter and a ZnTe electro-optic detection crystal are directly attached to a parallel copper-plate waveguide. This allows the THz beam to be excited and detected entirely inside the cryostat, obviating the need for THz-transparent windows or external THz mirro...
متن کاملTerahertz field enhancement to the MV/cm regime in a tapered parallel plate waveguide.
We investigate field enhancement properties of a tapered parallel plate waveguide for ultrashort terahertz (THz) pulses. We use two independent methods, air biased coherent detection inside the waveguide and free-space electro-optic sampling, respectively, which enables a calibrated, quantitative measurement of the field strength at the output of the waveguide. Field enhancement factors greater...
متن کاملWaveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of nanometer water layers.
Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is demonstrated to have the sensitivity to characterize nanometer-thick water layers on the surfaces of a parallel-plate metal waveguide. The measured far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of the 20-nm water layers are in reasonable self-consistent agreement with those of bulk water.
متن کاملNon-instantaneous optical nonlinearity of an a-Si:H nanowire waveguide.
We use pump-probe spectroscopy and continuous wave cross-phase and cross-amplitude modulation measurements to study the optical nonlinearity of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) nanowire waveguide, and we compare the results to those of a crystalline silicon waveguide of similar dimensions. The a-Si:H nanowire shows essentially zero instantaneous two-photon absorption, but it displays a...
متن کاملReflective polarization volume gratings for high efficiency waveguide-coupling augmented reality displays.
We demonstrate a reflective liquid-crystal polarization volume grating with high efficiency for augmented reality displays. The coupling efficiency was measured to be 90% at 650 nm and 50° deflection angle. The angular dependence of reflection band agrees well with Bragg condition, and the transmittance of environment light is high with negligible scattering. The bandwidth can be tailored by co...
