THREE DIMENSIONAL ENGINEERING OF PLANAR OPTICAL STRUCTURES

摘要

Three dimensional optical structures are described that can have various integrations between optical devices within and between layers of the optical structure. Optical turning elements (500) can provide optical pathways between layers (502, 510) of optical devices. Methods are described that provide for great versatility on contouring optical materials throughout the optical structure. Various new optical devices are enabled by the improved optical processing approaches.
