Waveguides for Cutting-Edge Photonic Devices

Innovative Light Guidance Technology

Waveguides are sophisticated optical components that control the propagation of light through carefully designed structures, enabling powerful applications in modern photonics and optoelectronics.

Our waveguide technology enables the precise routing, coupling, splitting, and combining of light signals with minimal loss and distortion, making them essential components in advanced optical systems.

We develop multiple types of cutting-edge waveguides to meet diverse application needs:

AR Glasses with Waveguide Technology

Types of Waveguide

Diffractive Waveguides

Utilize gratings, which are periodic nano-scale structures imprinted or etched onto a resin layer on top of the surface of the glass or plastic. These gratings diffract light at specific angles, allowing images to be directed inside the waveguide and finally coupled into the user's view.

Holographic Waveguides

Use holographic optical elements (HOEs) to diffract light. The HOEs are recorded as patterns within the resin material itself rather than as physical structures on the surface.

Reflective Waveguides

Made from stacked arrays of partly reflective mirrors and transparent materials. Light is guided through a series of reflections from the projector to the user's view, confined within the waveguide by total internal reflections (TIR).

Key Advantages

• High Efficiency: Optical waveguides offer low-loss transmission, ensuring that light signals maintain their integrity over long distances.
• Compact Design: Their small size allows for integration into various devices, making them ideal for miniaturized photonic circuits.
• Scalability: Easily scalable to meet the demands of different applications, from short-range interconnects to long-haul communication systems.
