Advanced Liquid Crystal on Silicon Optical Phased Arrays
Non-mechanical beamsteering eliminates the need for massive optomechanical components to steer the field of view of optical systems. This benefit is to come in the form of compact, low-power, lightweight optical phased arrays (OPAs) that provide better control with greater flexibility in their steering capability than their mechanical counterparts. Due to such benefits, there is a need to devel...

متن کاملNanophotonic Visible Light Phased Arrays
Previously demonstrated integrated optical phased arrays have primarily been implemented in silicon-based platforms and have therefore been limited to operation at infrared wavelengths, where silicon provides low-loss transmission. Developing integrated optical phased arrays for visible wavelengths would enable the exploration of new applications for this technology, such as autostereoscopic di...

متن کاملHybrid silicon free-space source with integrated beam steering
Free-space beam steering using optical phase arrays are desirable as a means of implementing Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and free-space communication links without the need for moving parts, thus alleviating vulnerabilities due to vibrations and inertial forces. Implementing such an approach in silicon photonic integrated circuits is particularly desirable in order to take advantage of ...
