Zusammenfassung:An optical device comprising one or more optical waveguides (1310), wherein each optical waveguide comprises a first major surface (1311) and a second major surface (1312), a first edge surface (1313) and a second edge surface (1315), and one or more diffractive incoupling optical elements and one or more diffractive outcoupling optical elements on at least one of the first and second major surfaces (1311, 1312) of the waveguide; a first light absorber (1320) directly on the first edge surface (1313), wherein the first light absorber (1320) comprises a vertically aligned nanotube array, wherein nanotubes of the nanotube arrays extend normal to the first edge on which the nanotubes are disposed; and optionally, a second light absorber (1320) directly on the second edge surface (1315), wherein the second light absorber (1320) comprises a vertically aligned nanotube array, wherein nanotubes of the nanotube arrays extend normal to the second edge on which the nanotubes are disposed.
