GoKawiila, Measurement setup for the efficiency of the MLL. Since the signal from the MLL diverges or converges depending on the input polarization state, direct measurement is challenging. Instead, we measure the intensity of the DC noise and acquire the signal intensity by subtracting it from the power of the incident light without the MLL. To create quasi-collimated light, only a few pixels are turned on, and the rays are collimated using a CCD lens. A LP and QWP modulate the incident light into the RCP state. Then, second QWP and LP block the signal after the light passes through the MLL. The efficiency of the MLL is measured for different incident angles. To minimize polarization aberrations, the two LPs and two QWPs are positioned perpendicular to the light’s propagation direction. The output DC component is measured using an illuminance meter (CA-210, Konica Minolta). b, Measured efficiency of the fabricated MLL. For normal incidence, the measured efficiencies are 26.6%, 46.4%, and 54.8% for 620 nm, 535 nm, and 460 nm, respectively.
