APPENDIX A

Appendix A contains photographs of different subsystems of the see-through Virtual Retinal Display built for this thesis. Figure A.1 shows a top view of the fiber coupling scheme. Figure A.2 shows the Mechanical Resonant Scanner next to a quarter and Figure A.3 shows the entire scanner assembly including the Mechanical Resonant Scanner and the galvanometer mirror. Figures A.4 and A.5 show side and frontal views, respectively, of the author viewing the display. Figure A.6 is an oblique view of the viewing optics.
