Topology and Polarization of Optical Vortex Fields from Atomic Phased Arrays
We developed a theoretical formalism for the generation of optical vortices by phased arrays of atoms. Using the Jacobi–Anger expansion, we demonstrated the resulting field topology and determined the least number of individual atoms necessary for the ...

Reconfigurable free-space mode generation and detection enabled by an active photonic integrated circuit coupled to a passive mode-selective interface [PDF]
Optical mode-sorting and generation are used for a wide range of quantum, sensing and communication applications. High-speed switching between mode sets would allow photonics systems to react to changes in propagation channel in real time.

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.

Optically Synchronized Phased Arrays in CMOS [PDF]
Optical synchronization of large-span arrays offers significant benefits over electrical methods in terms of the weight, cost, power dissipation, and complexity of the clock distribution network. This work presents the analysis and design of the first phased array transmitter synchronized using a fully monolithic CMOS optical receiver. We demonstrate a

Reprogrammable optical phase array
A novel reprogrammable optical phase array (ROPA) device is presented as a reconfigurable electro-optic element. One specific application of the ROPA, a 1 x 6 electro-optic space switch, is fully described. Switching angles are within 2 degrees , and switching is achieved through a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) controlled, diffraction ...
