Patent attributes
An astigmatism compensation optical assembly includes a first astigmatism compensation optical module including a first plurality of optical elements including Pancharatnam-Berry phase (PBP) lenses, PBP gratings, polarization sensitive hologram (PSH) lenses, PSH gratings, metamaterials, or combinations thereof. The first plurality of optical elements are configured to compensate for astigmatism in a first axis and include a property associated with Zernike polynomial Z2−2. The astigmatism compensation optical assembly also includes a second astigmatism compensation optical module including a second plurality of optical elements including PBP lenses, PBP gratings, PSH lenses, PSH gratings, metamaterials, or combinations thereof. The second plurality of optical elements are configured to compensate for astigmatism in a second axis and include a property associated with Zernike polynomial Z22. Each of the first and the second astigmatism compensation module is configurable between a plurality of optical powers to provide a plurality of cylindrical and axial correction values.
