SCHOTT® reflective waveguides

Technical Details of SCHOTT® reflective waveguides

Unlocking the potential of mirrors as a fundamental optical element introduces a realm of advantages, revolutionizing visual quality in optical systems. From the seamless integration of 2D pupil expansion waveguides for a natural form factor to the unparalleled luminance efficiency offered by mirror-based technology, these advances redefine the landscape of augmented reality experiences.

Using mirrors – the simplest optical element – offers multiple advantages

The industry’s highest quality image

Leveraging mirrors in optical systems maximizes image quality, setting a new standard in visual excellence.

A natural-looking form factor

2D pupil expansion waveguides redefine form factors naturally, enhancing the immersive feel of augmented reality experiences.

The highest luminance efficiency

Reflective waveguide technology excels in luminance efficiency, optimizing the brightness and clarity of displayed content.

The best color uniformity

Mirror-centric waveguide solutions provide unparalleled color uniformity, ensuring vivid and consistent visual experiences.

Reflective waveguides are acknowledged for their excellent image quality. Achieving this quality requires the tightest control of manufacturing processes. SCHOTT’s integrated setup covers all relevant process steps from material science, melting, and substrate and coating processing to final assembly and metrology. That level of control allows us to meet extremely tight manufacturing tolerances at favorable costs.
