AR Breakthrough: SCHOTT Achieves Serial Production of Geometric Reflective Waveguides

We're very happy to announce that we've achieved a breakthrough in high-volume production of Geometric Reflective waveguides.

This marks a key advancement for augmented reality (AR) devices, such as smart glasses. SCHOTT is the first company scaling Geometric Reflective Waveguides to serial production, leveraging its pioneering position in developing ultra-precise production processes for these high-end optical elements.

The company’s fully integrated supply chain uses its global production network, ranging from optical glass production to waveguide component assembly. This ensures product quality and scalability at the volumes needed to support major commercial deployments.

Geometric Reflective Waveguides are an optical technology used in the eyepieces of AR wearables in order to deliver digital overlays in the user’s field of vision with pristine image quality and unparalleled power efficiency, enabling miniaturized and hence fashionable AR glasses.

Author's summary: SCHOTT achieves breakthrough in AR waveguide production.
