ABSTRACT:
Couplers for coupling achromatic light having wavelengths of blue through red to and from an optical film waveguide along collinear paths parallel with the waveguide. Each coupler is constituted by a prism made of a material which, over the range of wavelengths of interest, has a change in refractive index which differs from the change in refractive index of the waveguide film by less than 0.5 percent of the refractive index of the prism material.
