  • Publication number: 20250123489
    Abstract: Undesirable light leakage is reduced in a mixed-reality head-mounted display device using an out-coupling diffractive optical element in a waveguide combiner that is implemented using a surface relief grating (SRG) having a gradient refractive index. The SRG has gratings with modulated depth in which shallower gratings have a lower refractive index and deeper gratings have a higher refractive index. The lower efficiency of the shallower gratings reduces forward-propagating virtual image light leaking into the real-world environment of the HMD device while simultaneously enabling light to propagate to the deeper gratings to thereby improve virtual image uniformity over the entirety of eyebox of the combiner.

  • Patent number: 6512230
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement in an apparatus for analyzing, on the basis of radiation absorption properties, one or more gas component included in a gaseous medium from an origin, like exhaled air from a person. The apparatus comprises a radiation source (10); a measuring chamber (8) provided with radiation transmissive windows (7a, 7b) for receiving a gas mixture (6) from at least the gaseous medium (G1); a first detector (1), which receives the radiation passed through the gas mixture; and between the radiation source and the detector a first optical interference filter (3), which has a first radiation transmission wavelength band and which is tiltable (P) relative to the passing radiation (R) beam.
