Abstract

A waveguide display includes a waveguide and a grating coupler configured to couple display light into or out of the waveguide. The grating coupler includes at least a first grating layer and a second grating layer arranged in a stack. The first grating layer is characterized by a first thickness and includes a first transmission VBG configured to diffract display light of a first wavelength from a first field of view. The second grating layer is characterized by a second thickness greater than the first thickness and includes a second transmission VBG configured to diffract display light of the first wavelength from a second field of view greater than the first field of view.
