POLARIZING MAINTAINING OPTICAL FIBER IN VIRTUAL/AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM

摘要

A display subsystem for a virtual image generation system for use by an end user comprises a display, an optical fiber having a polarization-maintaining (PM) transmission fiber section and a non-PM scanning fiber section, a light source configured for injecting a linearly polarized light beam into the transmission fiber section, such that the linearly polarized light beam is emitted from the scanning fiber section, and a display configured for receiving the scanned light beam and generating an image to the end user.
