Abstract
Abstract
Optical phased arrays (OPAs) have received considerable attention as solid-state beam scanners. However, conventional OPAs that actively control the phase difference between arrays are characterized by excessive power consumption for high-precision beam emission. In this study, we fabricated an OPA comprising Bragg grating and arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). Multi-mode waveguide is used in AWG to reduce the effect of manufacturing error. This device realizes wide and high-resolution two-dimensional beam steering only by sweeping wavelength. FWHM of the emitted beam is 0.534° × 2.27°, and the steering range is 43.9° × 13.5° with 1/64 of the power consumption of conventional OPA.
