Mesoscopic Diffractive Optics for Electronic Warfare applications

Abstract

In this report we present our progress in the integration of an 850-nm VCSEL, its driven and a mesoscopic diffractive lenslet array onto a single substrate to produce an integrated opto-electronic multi-chip module for signal fan-out and distribution. The diffractive element performs optical fan-out of the output beam from the VCSEL into an array of focused spots at a plane 1416 ?m from the surface of the VCSEL. This corresponds to 160 ?m from the surface of the diffractive lens. System design, fabrication, integration, and experimental characterization are presented.
