    Abstract: An image projector includes a spatially-interleaved polarization converter having an input and output lenslet array, and may transmit light thereon as converted linearly-polarized light. The image projector also includes a lens unit and a projector assembly having a pixel array and being capable of reflecting the converted light. The output lenslet array, the lens unit, and the projector assembly form an imaging system that images the input lenslet array to a top surface of the pixel array. A method for converting light to an output light beam having a single common polarization state includes transmitting the light as a plurality of beamlets each having an s-polarized component and a p-polarized component, splitting each beamlet into a transmitted p-polarized beamlet and a reflected s-polarized beamlet, converting each p-polarized beamlet to a first s-polarized output beamlet, and spatially interleaving the s-polarized beamlets with the first s-polarized output beamlets.

    Abstract: A lensed beam-splitter prism array includes a beam-splitter substrate with a plurality of planar and parallel thin-film coatings each spanning a top substrate surface and a bottom substrate surface, and making an oblique angle therebetween, and a lens form layer formed on the top surface and having a plurality of lens forms, each lens form being above one of the plurality of coatings. A method for fabricating a lensed beam-splitter prism includes bonding a plurality of substrates to form a substrate stack having a coating between each adjacent substrate pair. The method also includes forming a stack slice by applying a plurality of parallel cuts at an oblique angle with respect to each coating. Each coating spans a first stack-slice surface and a second stack-slice surface opposing the first stack-slice surface. The method also includes forming a lens form layer on the first stack-slice surface spanning one or more coatings.

    Abstract: A despeckle optical system for an image projector includes a diffuser, an in-plane vibrator, a microlens array, and a vibrator driver. The in-plane vibrator is coupled to vibrate the diffuser along a vibration plane. The vibrator driver is coupled to drive the in-plane vibrator and configured to drive the in-plane vibrator at different vibration amplitudes for averaging the intensity of speckle in display light that propagates through the diffuser via the microlens array.
