Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Phase Shifter (VCSEP)
Abstract
This program seeks to develop the technologies necessary to demonstrate planar, millimeterscale, 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 in Phase 2 tile unit cells, assembling a larger, coherent higher-power aperture. The scope of this effort is to advance the performance metrics of small foot print, integrated photonic phase shifters for application to large 2D optical beam forming arrays.
