    • To demonstrate a fabrication method enabling distortion-free and chromatic-aberration-free image output.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and simulation of a double-sided grating waveguide featuring a double-sided in-coupler, two single-sided turners, and a double-sided out-coupler.
    • Experimental fabrication of the proposed waveguide structure.
    • Characterization of the waveguide's performance, including combiner efficiency, field of view, and eye box.
    • Development of a self-aligned parallelogram grating fabrication method for nanoimprint.

    Main Results:

    • The novel double-sided waveguide achieved a central combiner efficiency of 4206 nit/lm under specific field of view and eye box conditions.
    • Performance exceeded traditional diffractive waveguides by more than four times.
    • The proposed fabrication method ensures self-aligned gratings, resulting in distortion-free and chromatic-aberration-free image output.
