Abstract
A near-eye optical element includes a refractive layer and at least one infrared reflecting layer. The refractive layer has an eyeward side and a scene side. The eyeward side of the refractive layer is disposed opposite of the scene side of the refractive layer. The infrared reflecting layer is embedded in the refractive layer and configured to receive an infrared beam from an infrared illuminator and direct the infrared beam out the eyeward side of the refractive layer to illuminate an eyebox area with infrared light. The infrared reflecting layers are configured to reflect the infrared beam and pass visible light.
