Abstract: An optical device includes an optical component (e.g., a polarization volume hologram, a geometric phase device, or a polarization-insensitive diffractive optical element) having a uniform thickness and configured to modify a wavefront of a light beam that includes light in two or more wavelengths visible to human eyes, where the optical component has a chromatic aberration between the two or more wavelengths. The optical device also includes a metasurface on the optical component. The metasurface includes a plurality of nanostructures configured to modify respective phases of incident light at a plurality of regions of the metasurface, where the plurality of nanostructures is configured to, at each region of the plurality of regions, add a respective phase delay for each of the two or more wavelengths to correct the chromatic aberration between the two or more wavelengths.

Abstract: A device includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The device also includes a birefringent medium layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. Orientations of directors of optically anisotropic molecules included in the birefringent medium layer varying periodically with an in-plane pitch tunable by an external field to adjust a diffraction angle of a light beam diffracted by the birefringent medium layer.

Abstract: An optical assembly may include a waveguide and a Bragg grating configured to couple light into or out of the waveguide. The Bragg grating may include a plurality of layer pairs, wherein at least one layer pair comprises a first material having a first refractive index and a second layer having a second refractive index, and wherein properties of the Bragg grating are selected so that the Bragg grating exhibits a substantially similar diffractive efficiency and diffraction angle for light of at least two colors.

Abstract: A first layer of anisotropic material extends along a first plane and includes anisotropic components being parallel to a second plane non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane. The anisotropic components are arranged in cycloidal or helical patterns. The cycloidal or helical patterns define one or more Bragg planes that are non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane and either substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to the second plane.

Abstract: An optical assembly includes a beam steering device and a holographic optical element. The beam steering device is switchable between different states including a first state and a second state. The beam steering device includes a first polarization-selective optical element and a first tunable optical retarder optically coupled with the first polarization-selective optical element. The holographic optical element is positioned relative to the beam steering device for receiving light from the beam steering device and projecting a first light pattern while the beam steering device is in the first state and a second light pattern distinct from the first light pattern while the beam steering device is in the second state.
