Waveguide Technology is widely believed to constitute one of the most promising approaches to realize affordable Augmented Reality (AR) / Mixed Reality (MR) devices combining smallest form-factor with uncompromised image quality allowing for full immersion user experience. Optical waveguides are made from special grade glass wafers. The characteristics of such wafers are directly determining image properties, such as Field-of-View, contrast, brightness, distortion of the image projected into the user's eye and many more. We are reporting latest advances in measuring and controlling key quality parameters with focus on total thickness variation, optical homogeneity and thickness tolerance of the wafers. We discuss the impact of these parameters on image quality using optical modelling of the waveguides.
Light-guide modeling -influence of waferproperties Light-guide modeling by fast physical optics is used to find the correlation of device properties with parameters of glass wafers. This basic understanding is necessary to spot requests and resulting
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
