AR Geometric Waveguide Module Market Overview
Geometric waveguides, also known as reflective or refractive waveguides, guide light through a series of reflections and refractions. They rely on the principles of total internal reflection (TIR) within a medium to confine and direct light. Typically, these waveguides consist of materials with a high refractive index, such as glass or polymers, and use prism-like structures or lenses to couple light in and out of the waveguide.
