  • Patent number: 12253694
    Abstract: The optical system includes a projector, a deflector, a polarizer, a first grating coupler structure, and a second grating coupler structure. The projector emits three beams having different wavelengths. The deflector is disposed below the projector and is configured to change incident angles of the three beams and to focus the three beams at the same region of the first grating coupler structure. The first grating coupler structure is below the deflector and is configured to couple the three beams into a light-guide lens such that the three beams travel the same optical path within the light-guide lens. The light-guide lens is connected to the first grating coupler structure and is configured to transmit the three beams. The polarizer is disposed between the projector and the deflector and is configured to filter out transverse electric (TE) modes or transverse magnetic (TM) modes of the three beams.
