Abstract

Flat diffractive optics utilizing chiral liquid crystal (CLC) has gained a lot of interest as a potential in- and out-coupling technology for applications such as augmented reality and head-up display systems. The unique properties of CLC together with a photoalignment technique capable of inducing controlled variation of the optical axis within a thin liquid crystal layer make it possible to obtain a range of efficient optical components. These components typically operate in reflection mode and can possess a variety of optical functionalities. In this study, we investigate 2D diffraction gratings and holographic lenses that combine diffraction grating and lens functionalities.
