Abstract

A tunable waveguide display includes a source waveguide, a first tunable lens (FTL), an output waveguide, and a second tunable lens (STL). The source waveguide receives light, expands the light in a first dimension, and outputs the expanded light. The FTL adjusts a wavefront of the expanded light to form adjusted light. The output waveguide receives the adjusted light, expands the adjusted light in a second dimension to form image light, and outputs the image light. The STL adjusts a wavefront of the image light. The FTL and the STL control an image plane of the image light.
