News Summary

  • Unlike conventional optics that manipulate light using mirrors for reflection or lenses for refraction, these holographic micro-optical elements rely on lasers and diffraction.
  • These elements are so small that they can be applied to foils or a single piece of flat glass.
  • The embedded microstructures are engineered to interact exclusively with specific laser wavelengths and incident angles emitted by a Picture Generation Unit (PGU) Ambient sunlight and external light pass through unhindered, preventing display washout.
Mention Zeiss, and its likely to bring up planetarium projectors and advanced optical lenses, but aerospace products wouldnt get much of a lookin.
