Abstract
An eye tracking system for tracking an eye of a user includes at least one infrared laser diode to output an infrared light and an optical scanner positioned to receive the infrared light outputted by the at least one infrared laser diode and controllable to scan the infrared light over a target area. A holographic optical element is positioned at the target area to receive the infrared light from the optical scanner and redirect the infrared light to the eye of the user. An infrared detector is aligned to detect at least a portion of the infrared light returned from the eye of the user. An infrared filter is disposed in a position to selectively block transmission of infrared wavelengths through the holographic optical element from a side of the holographic optical element. An eyeglass lens, a wearable heads-up display, and a method of eye tracking are also described.
