    Abstract: An apparatus comprising: a void; an interferometer detector; and



    light guide means for guiding a light signal along a light path to the interferometer detector wherein the light path comprises a cantilever light guide that is supported such that a free-end can move within the void and the interferometer detector is configured to detect a deflection of the free-end of the cantilever light guide; and
    a reflector, wherein the cantilever light guide comprises a light outcoupler configured to out-couple the light signal to extend the light path from the cantilever light guide to the reflector.

    Abstract: An apparatus with a first photodetector and a second photodetector is provided. The apparatus is configured to receive light, and the first photodetector is configured to detect a first portion of the light. The first photodetector and the second photodetector are in a stacked arrangement and the apparatus is configured to pass a second portion of the light through the first photodetector to the second photodetector. The apparatus further includes an optical blocking filter configured to filter the second portion of the light prior to the second portion of the light arriving at the second photodetector.

    Abstract: An apparatus including a display; a single pixel detector; and a beam splitter. The beam splitter is located relative to the display and the single pixel detector to allow a projected image from the display to pass through the beam splitter and direct a reflected image from an eye to the single pixel detector, where the reflected image is based at least partially upon the projected image.

    Abstract: An apparatus may include an optical combiner configured to combine a first optical beam having an adjusted first polarization with a second optical beam having an adjusted second polarization into an output beam having a third polarization. The third polarization may be a linear combination of the adjusted first polarization and the adjusted second polarization. Information may be communicated by adjusting the polarization according to an information source.

    Abstract: A light input is divided into a plurality of light outputs by a structure comprising a first beam splitter configured to divide the light input into a first part and a second part, a first polarization beam splitter configured to provide from the first part a first polarized part and a second polarized part, wherein the first polarized part is for providing a first output and the second polarized part for providing a second output, at least one polarization altering device configured to alter the polarization of light in the second part, and at least one second polarization beam splitter configured to receive light altered by respective at least one polarization altering device and provide therefrom at least one third polarized part for providing at least one third output. A light output can be generated based on similar principles in reverse.
