    This study introduces a new augmented reality (AR) waveguide display using a multifocal holographic optical element (M-HOE). This technology extends focus cues, potentially reducing eye strain and enhancing immersive AR experiences.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Augmented Reality Displays
    • Holographic Optical Elements

    Background:

    • Conventional waveguide displays in augmented reality (AR) are limited to a single focal plane.
    • This limitation can cause vergence-accommodation conflict, impacting user experience and immersion in head-mounted AR systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a waveguide-based near-eye display capable of presenting virtual content across an extended depth range.
    • To address the vergence-accommodation conflict in AR displays through advanced optical design.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed a waveguide display incorporating a multifocal holographic optical element (M-HOE) as an output coupler.
    • Fabricated the M-HOE by integrating three distinct volume holographic gratings within a single photopolymer film, creating a trifocal miniaturized flat lens.

    Main Results:

    • Experimentally demonstrated that the M-HOE can project virtual content at three distinct focal distances: -300 mm, -600 mm, and -1000 mm.
    • The developed waveguide optics successfully extended the depth range for virtual image focus.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed M-HOE waveguide display shows promise for alleviating the vergence-accommodation conflict in AR.
    • This technology has the potential to significantly enhance the immersiveness of future augmented reality experiences.
