Hybrid acousto-optic/electro-optic leaky-mode deflectors

Abstract

We introduce a solution for enabling vertical parallax in solid-state leaky mode devices by integrating an electro-optic (EO) phased array. We present a simple proof of concept for an acousto-optic (AO)/EO modulator deflecting in two axes and describe how this could be refined and adapted for transparent large-format and near-eye holographic displays.
