Energy-efficient integrated silicon optical phased array [PDF]
An optical phased array (OPA) is a promising non-mechanical technique for beam steering in solid-state light detection and ranging systems. The performance of the OPA largely depends on the phase shifter, which affects power consumption, insertion loss ...

Integrated circular optical phased array [PDF]
Existing OPAs are typically based on 2D rectangular arrays or 1D linear arrays. Both approaches present a limited field-of-view (FOV) due to the presence of the grating lobes when the element spacing is larger than λ/2.
