Claim 0:
1. An optical system, comprising:
an optical waveguide;
a first optical element configured to direct a first ray, from an eye, having a first circular polarization and impinging on the first optical element in a first direction to a second direction and direct a second ray, from the eye, having a second circular polarization that is distinct from the first circular polarization and impinging on the first optical element in the first direction to a third direction distinct from the second direction so that one of the first ray or the second ray propagates through the optical waveguide via total internal reflection and the other of the first ray or the second ray is transmitted through the optical waveguide; and
a second optical element positioned to steer a ray propagating through the optical waveguide for exiting from the optical waveguide.
