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.
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.
