US Patent:

7446931, Nov 4, 2008

Filed:

Jul 12, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/776779

Inventors:

Joshua O. Miller - Woodinville WA, US

Assignee:

Microvision, Inc. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G02F 2/02
H01S 3/10

US Classification:

359326, 372 21, 372 23

Abstract:

A plural wavelength light beam source may include one or more integrated laser diodes and a wavelength-conversion source such as a second harmonic generation laser. According to some embodiments the one or more laser diodes may be aligned to emit light through a wavelength converter. According to some embodiments, a polarizer for selecting a pump wavelength polarization delivered to the wavelength converter may include a beam combining structure.

International Classification:

G02B 27/00

US Classification:

359630, 359618, 359796, 351158, 385 39

Abstract:

Substrate-guided relays that employ light guiding substrates to relay images from sources to viewers in optical display systems. The substrate-guided relays are comprised of an input coupler, an intermediate substrate, and an output coupler. In some embodiments, the output coupler is formed in a separate substrate that is coupled to the intermediate substrate. The output coupler may be placed in front of or behind the intermediate substrate, and may employ two or more partially reflective surfaces to couple light from the coupler. In some embodiments, the input coupler is coupled to the intermediate substrate in a manner that the optical axis of the input coupler intersects the optical axis of the intermediate substrate at a non-perpendicular angle.

International Classification:

G06F 3/038

US Classification:

345204, 348744, 359333, 385 15

Abstract:

An integrated photonics module includes at least one light source and a MEMS scanner coupled to and held in alignment by an optical frame configured for mounting to a host system. According to some embodiments, the integrated photonics module may include a plurality of light sources and a beam combiner coupled to the optical frame. According to some embodiments, the integrated photonics module includes a selective fold mirror configured to direct at least a portion of emitted light toward the MEMS scanner in a normal direction and pass scanned light through to a field of view. The selective fold mirror may use beam polarization to select beam passing and reflection. The integrated photonics module may include a beam rotator such as a quarter-wave plate to convert the polarization of the emitted light to a different polarization adapted for passage through the fold mirror. The integrated photonics module may include one or more light detectors.

Inventors:

Joshua M. Hudman - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microvision, inc. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G03B 21/14

US Classification:

353 38, 353 81, 3592075, 359831

Abstract:

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a prism capable of being utilized in a scanned beam projector comprises a first window disposed on a first surface through which the beam is capable of passing to impinge upon a scan engine at an angle of incidence off axis from an axis normal to a plane of the scan engine, and a second window disposed on a second surface through which the beam is capable of passing. The first surface of the prism is disposed at a non-parallel angle with respect to the second surface to reduce distortion of the scan pattern or image from the scan engine. The prism may further comprise one or more internal surfaces capable of reflecting the beam onto the scan engine off axis, where such reflecting may impart a desired polarization state to the beam reflected onto the scan engine.
