    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Display Technology

    Background:

    • Pancake optics, a polarization-based catadioptric system, is prevalent in virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) headsets for its compact design and image quality.
    • However, these systems exhibit reduced optical efficiency (25%) due to half-mirror use and are prone to ghost images from internal reflections and polarization issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the origins and light paths of ghost images in pancake optics.
    • To analyze the impact of varying incident angles on ghost image intensity.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental exploration of ghost image formation.
    • Simulation-based analysis of light paths and ghost image characteristics.
    • Investigation of incident angle effects on ghost image intensity.

    Main Results:

    • Identified specific origins and light paths contributing to ghost images in pancake optics.
    • Quantified the effect of different incident angles on the intensity of individual ghost images.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding ghost image formation is crucial for improving pancake optics performance in VR/MR.
    • Further research can focus on mitigation strategies to enhance optical efficiency and image fidelity.
