Optical Apparatus, Optical Modules, Optical Devices and Methods - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337834 titled 'Optical Apparatus, Optical Modules, Optical Devices and Methods
The apparatus described in the patent application includes two light waveguides, each with diffraction gratings and expanders to manipulate input beams of light from separate light engines.
- The first light waveguide has a diffraction grating to couple light from the first engine, an expander to expand the light beams, and a diffraction grating to out-couple the expanded beams.
- The second light waveguide functions similarly, with diffraction gratings and expanders to manipulate light from the second engine.
- The first light waveguide produces a first image, while the second light waveguide produces a second image.
Potential Applications: - Optical imaging systems - Display technologies - Telecommunications
Problems Solved: - Efficient manipulation of light beams - Generation of multiple images from different light sources
Benefits: - Enhanced imaging capabilities - Improved light manipulation efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical Imaging Systems for Enhanced Display Technologies This technology can be used in advanced display systems, medical imaging devices, and telecommunications equipment to improve image quality and efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the diffraction grating in the light waveguides contribute to the manipulation of light beams? 2. What are the potential limitations of using multiple light waveguides in optical imaging systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus includes a first light waveguide including: a first in-coupling diffraction grating to in-couple first input beams of light into the first light waveguide from a first light engine, a first expander to expand the first input beams of light to form first expanded beams of light, a first out-coupling diffraction grating to out-couple the first expanded beams of light; and a second light waveguide including: a second in-coupling diffraction grating to in-couple second input beams of light into the second light waveguide from a second light engine, a second expander to expand the second input beams of light to form second expanded beams of light, and a second out-coupling diffraction grating to out-couple the second expanded beams of light. the first light waveguide provides a first image, and the second light waveguide provides a second image.
