Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An illumination system for non-emissive polarization-sensitive microdisplays such as LCoS is implemented in a waveguide that guides illumination light from an unpolarized source to the microdisplay while simultaneously recycling light of the wrong polarization for the microdisplay to improve illumination efficiency. Polarization recycling may be performed at one or more of an input coupler that in-couples illumination light to the waveguide, the waveguide itself, or an output coupler that out-couples the illumination light from the waveguide to the microdisplay.
