A near-eye display for providing an image in angular domain at an eyebox, the near-eye display comprising a multipass scanner (130, 430, 530, 630) for scanning a light beam, the multipass scanner comprising: a light source (104, 404, 504, 604) for providing the light beam; a tiltable reflector (106, 406, 506, 606) for reflecting the light beam provided by the light source by tilting the tiltable reflector at a variable angle; a multipass coupler (140, 240, 440, 540, 640, 740, 840) for receiving the light beam from the light source and coupling the light beam to the tiltable reflector, for receiving the light beam reflected from the tiltable reflector for a first time at twice the variable angle and redirecting the light beam back to the tiltable reflector, and for receiving the light beam reflected from the tiltable reflector for a second time and coupling the light beam to an exit pupil of the multipass scanner; a reflective polarizer for reflecting light having a first polarization state and transmitting light having a second polarization state orthogonal to the first polarization state; and a first quarter-wave waveplate (211, 411, 511, 611), QWP, disposed in an optical path between the reflective polarizer and the tiltable reflector and configured to convert a polarization state of light between the first and second polarization states upon a double-pass propagation through the first QWP, wherein in operation, the light beam having the first or second polarization state propagates in sequence through the first QWP, impinges onto the tiltable reflector for the first time, is reflected by the tiltable reflector to propagate again through the first QWP thereby converting to the other of the first and second polarization states, is reflected by the reflective polarizer, propagates through the first QWP and impinges onto the tiltable reflector for the second time, is reflected by the tiltable reflector to propagate through the first QWP thereby converting back to the first or second polarization state, and propagates through the reflective polarizer to the exit pupil. a light source (104, 404, 504, 604) for providing the light beam; a tiltable reflector (106, 406, 506, 606) for reflecting the light beam provided by the light source by tilting the tiltable reflector at a variable angle; a multipass coupler (140, 240, 440, 540, 640, 740, 840) for receiving the light beam from the light source and coupling the light beam to the tiltable reflector, for receiving the light beam reflected from the tiltable reflector for a first time at twice the variable angle and redirecting the light beam back to the tiltable reflector, and for receiving the light beam reflected from the tiltable reflector for a second time and coupling the light beam to an exit pupil of the multipass scanner; a reflective polarizer for reflecting light having a first polarization state and transmitting light having a second polarization state orthogonal to the first polarization state; and a first quarter-wave waveplate (211, 411, 511, 611), QWP, disposed in an optical path between the reflective polarizer and the tiltable reflector and configured to convert a polarization state of light between the first and second polarization states upon a double-pass propagation through the first QWP, wherein in operation, the light beam having the first or second polarization state propagates in sequence through the first QWP, impinges onto the tiltable reflector for the first time, is reflected by the tiltable reflector to propagate again through the first QWP thereby converting to the other of the first and second polarization states, is reflected by the reflective polarizer, propagates through the first QWP and impinges onto the tiltable reflector for the second time, is reflected by the tiltable reflector to propagate through the first QWP thereby converting back to the first or second polarization state, and propagates through the reflective polarizer to the exit pupil.
