Zusammenfassung:An optical device for controlling light in an augmented reality display is provided. The optical device includes a waveguide and a diffractive optical element to couple light into the waveguide. The diffractive optical element includes an array of structured grating elements. The structured grating elements are arranged based on a repeating unit cell, each unit cell including at least two grating elements defining an irregular grating structure such that the diffractive optical element produces an asymmetrical diffraction response. Methods of manufacturing the optical device are also provided.
