Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the field of eye tracking systems. An eye tracking system is provided. The eye tracking system comprises an illuminator arrangement, including at least one light source, configured to illuminate an eye of a user. The eye tracking system is configured to enable a reduction of reflections from an optic arrangement (e.g., a pair of glasses) that is located in a light beam path between the illuminator arrangement and the eye when the eye tracking system is in use. The illuminator arrangement is configured to emit p-polarized light to be incident on a surface of the optic arrangement at an angle corresponding to, or substantially corresponding to, Brewster's angle.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a wearable apparatus is provided which may include a holographic film disposed on the wearable apparatus, an eye tracking device including an image sensor and an illuminator, and one or more processors. The processors may be configured to activate the illuminator to illuminate the holographic film and capture, with the image sensor, an image of at least a portion of the holographic film while the holographic film is illuminated. The processors may also be configured to determine a characteristic of the holographic film based on the image and determine, based on the characteristic, a location or an orientation of the image sensor relative to the holographic film. The processors may further be configured to change, based on the location or the orientation of the image sensor relative to the holographic film, at least one calibration parameter of the image sensor.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an eye tracking device for tracking movements of an eye comprising, a viewing plane for displaying a projection of an image to the eye of a user, an image module placed on a same side of the viewing plane as the eye, at least one illuminator for illuminating the eye, a control unit adapted to receive an image captured by the image module, and calculate a viewing angle of the eye, a holographic optical element (HOE), wherein a HOE is placed between the eye and the viewing plane, wherein the image module is adapted to capture an image of the HOE, and wherein the HOE is adapted to direct at last a first portion of incident light reflected from the eye, in a first angle towards the image module, the first angle being different from an angle of the incidence of the incident light

Abstract: A Q-switched laser, which is pumped by at least one pump source (8), providing pulses. The laser comprises two mirrors (3,5) providing a laser cavity, in which a gain medium (2), a saturable absorber (4) and a controllable active modulator (6) is situated. Loss can be introduced in the modulator (6) by a control device (10). In a first phase, said control device (10) introduces loss in the active modulator, setting a threshold inversion density band to a level (B) high enough to be above the actual inversion density in the gain medium means. In a second phase, the control device lowers said loss instantly, which will lower the threshold inversion density band to a level (A) lower than the actual inversion density in order to activate emission of said Q-switched pulse.
