Optical beam steering is a key technology for free-space optical communication, sensing, and imaging. Mechanical beam steering systems suffer from limited scanning speed and bulky form factors, while ...

What is Optical scanning? Let me offer a definition. Optical scanning is a systematic articulation of light to provide information transfer. Then, what is information? Consider that it means simply ...

In three recent papers, engineers report the first demonstration of optical phased array technology on-chip at both near infrared and blue wavelength with applications in a broad range of research ...

This white paper explores basic phased-array theory and the design considerations behind next-generation antenna systems. It examines the new capabilities recently added to the NI AWR Design ...

5G New Radio (5GNR) will rely heavily on beam steering to maximize data throughput, especially when used to send and receive millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. Starting at about 24 GHz, mmWave ...

An optical phased array (OPA) is a nonmechanical beam-steering control device with high directivity and deflection efficiency. Due to its high resolution, fast response, and absence of inertia, the ...

Narrow Main Beam, Low Side Lobes! High-Performance Electro-Optic Beam Steering with Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Optical Phased Array SHANNON, CLARE, IRELAND, February ...

ARLINGTON, Va., 13 Feb. 2010. Military electro-optics scientists at two U.S. technology companies are trying to revolutionize scanning-laser sensors in the same way that phased-array technology ...

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark have developed a way to make a chip that focuses on LiDAR for beam steering smaller and more affordable for its multiple uses in different ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University and Stanford University believe they have found a novel laser light sensing technology that is more robust and less expensive than currently ...

While beam steering systems have been used for many years for applications such as imaging, display, and optical trapping, they require bulky mechanical mirrors and are overly sensitive to vibrations.
