Abstract

A display system comprises a waveguide having light incoupling or light outcoupling optical elements formed of a metasurface. The metasurface is a multilevel (e.g., bi-level) structure having a first level defined by spaced apart protrusions formed of a first optically transmissive material and a second optically transmissive material between the protrusions. The metasurface also includes a second level formed by the second optically transmissive material. The protrusions on the first level may be patterned by nanoimprinting the first optically transmissive material, and the second optically transmissive material may be deposited over and between the patterned protrusions. The widths of the protrusions and the spacing between the protrusions may be selected to diffract light, and a pitch of the protrusions may be 10-600 nm.

Claims (23)

1. A method for forming a metasurface on an optical waveguide, the method comprising:

providing a layer of a first optically transmissive material on a surface of an optically transmissive substrate of the optical waveguide;

patterning the first optically transmissive material with a pattern that comprises a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions and spaces between the protrusions, wherein the plurality of spaced-apart protrusions extend outward from the surface and have a pitch;

depositing a second optically transmissive material into at least some of the gaps between the protrusions to form the metasurface that is a multilevel metasurface on the surface, wherein the second optically transmissive material at least partly fills the spaces between the protrusions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first optically transmissive material is a first resist, and the second optically transmissive material is a second resist.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pitch is in a range of 10 nm to 600 nm.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second optically transmissive material at least partly fills the spaces between the protrusions without extending over the protrusions.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second optically transmissive material is further deposited onto the protrusions to form spaced-apart plateaus of the second optically transmissive material above the protrusions.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second optically transmissive material is deposited with a thickness in a range of 10 nm to 1 μm above the protrusions.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second optically transmissive material is further deposited to extend over the plurality of spaced-apart protrusions to provide a continuous layer of the second optically transmissive material above the plurality of spaced-apart protrusions.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second optically transmissive material has a refractive index higher than 1.7.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein patterning the first optically transmissive material comprises imprinting the pattern into the first optically transmissive material.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein depositing the second optically transmissive material comprises at least one of spin coating, conformal deposition, or directional deposition of the second optically transmissive material.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the conformal deposition comprises chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of the second optically transmissive material.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the directional deposition comprises evaporation or sputtering the second optically transmissive material.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the protrusions comprise steps on at least two levels.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first optically transmissive material has a different refractive index than the second optically transmissive material.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second optically transmissive material has a higher refractive index than one or both of the first optically transmissive material or the substrate.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein upper surfaces of the plurality of spaced-apart protrusions and the second optically transmissive material between the spaced-apart protrusions provide a planar surface.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pitch of the protrusions varies across the surface.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multilevel metasurface is a bi-level metasurface or a tri-level metasurface.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multilevel metasurface is configured to redirect light including at least one of in-coupling light into the optical waveguide or out-coupling light from the optical waveguide.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the pitch is less than a wavelength of the light being redirected.
