- Abstract
- In a waveguide-type display for augmented reality, the image is injected in the waveguide and extracted in front of the eye appearing superimposed on the real-world scene. An elegant and compact way of coupling these images in and out is by using blazed gratings, which can achieve high diffraction efficiencies. We report the design of blazed gratings for green light (lambda = 543 nm) and a diffraction angle of 43 degrees. The blazed gratings with a pitch of 508 nm and a fill factor of 0.66 are fabricated using grayscale electron beam lithography. We outline the subsequent replication in a polymer waveguide material with ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography and confirm a throughput efficiency of 17.4%. We finally show the in- and outcoupling of an image through two blazed gratings appearing sharp and non-distorted in the environment.
