Abstract

To make augmented reality (AR) eyewears widely available, it is necessary to provide a cost-effective and high-quality AR waveguide combiner solution. The polarization volume hologram (PVH) gratings made of liquid crystal (LC) polymer is a promising candidate with unique polarization properties. In this presentation, we review the physical properties of PVH and provide a thorough discussion about how the performance of the waveguide combiner is influenced by the characteristics of PVH and fabrication capabilities. Our study provides guidance to the development of PVH waveguide technology and promotes scale-up solutions.
