    Abstract: A method for aligning multiple optical components in an optical system including placing a sphere at a first position that is at a center of curvature of a first optical component, and aligning a focus of a first reference signal with the sphere at the first position. Then, moving the sphere along an axis of optical symmetry to a second position that is at a center of curvature of a second optical component, and aligning a focus of a second reference signal with the sphere at the second position. The first optical component is aligned with the first reference signal and fixing the first optical component, and the second optical component is aligned with the second reference signal and fixing the second optical component.

    Abstract: A display apparatus has an image generator that generates image-bearing light from a f surface and a lens spaced apart from the image generator and having an aspheric incident refractive surface concave to the image generator and having an aspheric reflective surface concave to the image generator, wherein a principal axis of the reflective surface is normal to the image generator. A beam splitter plate disposed in free space between the image generator and the lens has first and second parallel surfaces that are oblique to a line of sight of a viewer. The lens and the beam splitter plate define a viewer eye box for the image-bearing light along the line of sight of the viewer.

    Abstract: A sensing apparatus for detecting light of first and second fluorescent wavelength bands has a light source to generate an excitation wavelength to a first collimator element. A dichroic multiplexer has a first coated surface oblique to the optical axis and treated to transmit the excitation wavelength and to reflect the second fluorescent wavelength band and a second coated surface treated to transmit the excitation wavelength and the second fluorescent wavelength band and to reflect the first fluorescent wavelength band. A focusing element focuses the excitation light toward a light guide and directs collimated light of the first and second fluorescent wavelength bands from the light guide to the dichroic multiplexer. A first detector element is in the path of reflected light of the first fluorescent wavelength band and a second detector element is in the path of reflected light of the second fluorescent wavelength band.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses are described. Light output by a light source may be transformed into an annular shape (e.g., a spatial distribution of the light may be modified to have an annular shape) to cure an adhesive material having a similar annular shape. For example, a system may include a light source emitting light (e.g., ultraviolet (UV) light) having an angular distribution and a spatial distribution. An optical system may modify a shape of the spatial distribution into an annular shape, and the light having the annular shape may be focused on an adhesive material to cure the adhesive material. In some examples, the adhesive material may be positioned between an optical element and a structural component, and the focused light in the annular shape may cure the adhesive material while simultaneously avoiding one or more other optical components or structures.

    Abstract: An optical apparatus for display to a viewer has a concave spherical mirror that has a center of curvature at the viewer's pupil and that has a second radius of curvature. An image generation apparatus forms an image onto a spherical diffusive surface, wherein the spherical diffusive surface has a first radius of curvature that is substantially half the length of the second radius of curvature. A beam splitter is positioned along a principal axis of the concave spherical mirror and optically disposes the curved diffusive surface at the focal surface of the concave spherical mirror.
