Chiral quasi bound states in the continuum for augmented reality.

Augmented Reality technology enables users to interact with virtual imagines and the real world. The emergence of AR has propelled the development of the next generation of optical devices towards miniaturization, lightweight design, and enhanced light field manipulation capabilities. However, current AR glass still suffer from shortcomings of low efficiency. This work proposes a near-eye display device based on bilayer chiral quasi-BIC (Bound States in the continuum) nonlocal metasurfaces which can reflect narrow bandwidth RGB light with high efficiency while being able to see the natural environment clearly. At the same time, the geometric phase is introduced to realize oblique emission and reflective focusing. Due to its ability to manipulate narrowband light fields, it can reduce the interaction of metasurfaces and environment light, and has potential applications in the fields of imaging and near-eye display.
