Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, in the optical waveguide scheme using a two-dimensional diffraction grating, a cylindrical structure or a rhombus structure is generally used. The structure is very simple, with few adjustable parameters and low design freedom, which is not conducive to adjusting the diffraction efficiency, resulting in the diffraction efficiency of the entire diffraction waveguide. bad

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of optics, and particularly relates to a grating structure, an optical waveguide and a near-to-eye display system. The embodiment of theinvention provides the grating structure which is applied to the optical waveguide and the near-to-eye display system. The grating structure comprises a grating body. A through hole is formed in the grating body, and compared with a cylindrical structure grating and a rhombus structure grating, the grating structure is more in adjustable parameters, high in design freedom degree and easy to adjustdiffraction efficiency of the grating so that the grating structure provided by the embodiment of the invention is better in diffraction efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of optical technology, and in particular to a grating structure, an optical waveguide, and a near-eye display system. Background technique [0002] Augmented reality is a technology that integrates virtual information with the real world. The design of the near-eye display system is a key link in augmented reality technology. For small-sized augmented reality glasses with better portability, the main solutions on the market are The optical waveguide is used as the transmission medium of light, and the optical waveguide is divided into geometric array waveguide, diffraction grating waveguide and volume holographic waveguide. Among them, the diffraction grating waveguide is convenient for nanoimprinting processing and the high degree of freedom of diffraction grating design, the more It has been paid more and more attention, and the diffraction grating acts like a thin film in the arrayed waveg...
