    Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating for nonuniform surface topography features in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for manufacturing waveguide cells, the method including providing a waveguide including first and second substrates and a layer of optical recording material, and applying a surface forming process to at least one external surface of the first and second substrates. In another embodiment, applying the surface forming process includes applying a forming material coating to the at least one external surface, providing a forming element having a forming surface, bringing the forming element in physical contact with the forming material coating, curing the forming material coating while it is in contact with the forming element, and releasing the forming material coating from the forming element.

    Abstract: Mastering systems and methods of fabricating waveguides and waveguide devices using such mastering systems are described. Mastering systems for fabricating holographic waveguides can include using a master to control the application of energy (e.g. a laser, light, or magnetic beam) onto a liquid crystal substrate to fabricate a holographic waveguide into the liquid crystal substrate. Mastering systems for fabricating holographic waveguides in accordance with embodiments of the invention can include a variety of features. These features include, but are not limited to: chirp for single input beam copy (near i.e. hybrid contact copy), dual chirped gratings (for input and output), zero order grating for transmittance control, alignment reference gratings, 3:1 construction, position adjustment tooling to enable rapid alignment, optimization of lens and window thickness for multiple RKVs simultaneously, and avoidance of other orders and crossover of the diffraction beam.
