Abstract

Liquid crystal polarization holograms (LCPH) have demonstrated optical characteristics which are well suited for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications. To enable complex LCPH designs, an internal tool based on rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) and the Berreman 4x4 method has been developed. This tool, named LCPro, allows for the design, simulation, and tolerancing of complex LCPHs. Several design case studies with differing applications in AR/VR will be discussed where inverse design techniques are used to solve for the required structure given a desired optical response.
