Abstract:Optical phased arrays (OPAs) serve as pivotal components for non-mechanical beam steering and find relevance in various applications. However, they necessitate correction of optical phase errors within the antenna array, arising from fabrication imperfections in waveguides. We introduce a novel weighted group phase compensation (w-GPC) algorithm to simplify phase compensation and beam steering for OPAs but also enhances sidelobe suppression. A key advantage lies in its reduced hardware requirements, enabling p… Show more
