  • Publication number: 20230185027
    Abstract: An optical system includes a light module, an optical element on a first grating coupler, and a second grating coupler. The light module emits three beams from different positions. The optical element is below the light module 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. The first grating coupler is below the optical element and is configured to couple the three beams into a light-guide substrate. The light-guide substrate is connected to the first grating coupler and is configured to transmit the three beams. The second grating coupler is connected to the light-guide substrate and is configured to enable the three beams departing from the light-guide substrate after the three beams have traveled the same optical path.
