Slide6Waveguide combiner using diffraction gratings
Light from the collimating optics is diffracted at high angles by the Input Coupler diffraction grating.Light propagates down waveguide.Output Coupler diffraction grating diffracts light out of the waveguide a little at a time, so that it can be seen by the pilot.Each bounce produces a virtual image of the collimator, more on that next.

Continuous output coupling grating with gradient efficiency
Slide7Multiple Beamsplitter Approach
Beamsplitters can be used instead of gratings:
Collimating optics
Eyeball
Faceted optics with coatings
Optics are very expensive to manufacture:
Grind, polish, coat
beamsplitter
Cut into many pieces
Bond assembly
Regrind,
repolish
, AR coat
Artifacts such as bands appear across FOV.
