Effect of Beam-Steering Angle, Operation Wavelength and Mean Inter-Element Distance on the Side-Lobe Levels of Integrated Optical Phased Arrays under Beam-Steering Operation

Effect of Beam-Steering Angle, Operation Wavelength and Mean Inter-Element Distance on the Side-Lobe Levels of Integrated Optical Phased Arrays under Beam-Steering Operation

Integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) play an important role in a broad range of applications. Fabrication constraints, however, pose a limit to the minimum inter-element separation that further results in high-intensity side lobes. The intensity of these secondary lobes can be reduced by arrangin...
