Densely Packed 2D Photonic Phased Array
Abstract
This program seeks to develop the technologies necessary to demonstrate planar, millimeter scale, transmit & receive, non-mechanical beam steering optical phased arrays. The objective is to develop optical array element photonic integrated circuit unit cells with a high fill factor aperture and integrated amplification and tile unit cells, assembling a larger, coherent higher-power aperture. The scope of this effort is to advance silicon photonics integrated circuit phase delay unit cell component to improve on bulk photonic devices currently used in optical beamforming systems and is needed to reduce C-SWaP (size power and weight) by improving manufacturability.
