Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods of forming optical devices comprising nanostructures disposed on transparent substrates. A first process of forming the nanostructures comprises depositing a first layer of a first material on a glass substrate, forming one or more trenches in the first layer, and depositing a second layer of a second material in the one or more holes to trenches a first alternating layer of alternating first portions of the first material and second portions of the second material. The first process is repeated one or more times to form additional alternating layers over the first alternating layer. Each first portion of each alternating layer is disposed in contact with and offset a distance from an adjacent first portion in adjacent alternating layers. A second process comprises removing either the first or the second portions from each alternating layer to form the plurality of nanostructures.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for devices and methods of measuring a pitch P of optical device structures and an orientation angle ϕ of the optical device structures. One embodiment of the system includes an optical arm coupled to an arm actuator. The optical arm includes a light source. The light source emits a light path operable to be diffracted to the stage. The optical arm further includes a first beam splitter and a second beam splitter positioned in the light path. The first beam splitter directs the light path through a first lens and the second beam splitter directs the light path through a first dove prism and a second lens. The optical arm further includes a first detector operable to detect the light path from the first lens and second detector operable to detect the light path from the second lens.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a method for forming an optical component, for example, for a virtual reality or augmented reality display device. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first layer on a substrate, and the first layer has a first refractive index. The method further includes pressing a stamp having a pattern onto the first layer, and the pattern of the stamp is transferred to the first layer to form a patterned first layer. The method further includes forming a second layer on the patterned first layer by spin coating, and the second layer has a second refractive index greater than the first refractive index. The second layer having the high refractive index is formed by spin coating, leading to improved nanoparticle uniformity in the second layer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a line angle and a line angle rotation of a grating or line feature is disclosed. An aspect of the present disclosure involves, measuring coordinate points of a first line feature using a measurement tool, determining a first slope of the first line feature from the coordinate points, and determining a first line angle from the slope of the first line feature. This process can be repeated to find a second slope of a second line feature that is adjacent to the first line feature. The slope of the first and second line features can be compared to find a line angle rotation. The line angle rotation is compared to a design specification and a stitch quality is determined.

Abstract: An imaging system and a method of creating composite images are provided. The imaging system includes one or more lens assemblies coupled to a sensor. When reflected light from an object enters the imaging system, incident light on the metalens filter systems creates filtered light, which is turned into composite images by the corresponding sensors. Each metalens filter system focuses the light into a specific wavelength, creating the metalens images. The metalens images are sent to the processor, wherein the processor combines the metalens images into one or more composite images. The metalens images are combined into a composite image, and the composite image has reduced chromatic aberrations.
