System implementation of the silicon optical phased arrays
FY 2022-23 · 2023-03-21
Summary
The aim of the Project is to investigate on the array designs of dense 2-dimensional nano-antennas and to provide an optimized system implementation of the integrated optical phased arrays (OPA). The far-field radiation pattern of the OPA array is formed by the coherent superposition of the radiation of each individual nano-antenna. Leveraging the existing simulation and design work on silicon waveguide nano-antennas, project team plans to design the antenna spacing and 2D configuration to achieve the optimized far-field radiation pattern with the best sidelobe suppression. The team also plans to realize a dense array of a 100-500-antenna 2-dimensional OPA system for an experimental proof-of-concept demonstration.

Description (French)
Le projet a pour but d’étudier la conception de réseaux de nanoantennes bidimensionnelles denses et de fournir une mise en œuvre optimisée du système intégré de réseaux optiques à commande de phase (ROCP). Le modèle de rayonnement en champ lointain du ROCP est formé par la superposition cohérente du rayonnement de chaque nanoantenne individuelle. En s’appuyant sur les travaux de simulation et de conception existants sur les nanoantennes à guide d’ondes en silicium, l’équipe du projet prévoit de concevoir l’espacement des antennes et la configuration 2D pour obtenir un diagramme de rayonnement en champ lointain optimisé avec la meilleure suppression des lobes secondaires. L’équipe prévoit également de réaliser un réseau dense d’un système de ROCP bidimensionnel de 100 à 500 antennes pour une démonstration expérimentale de preuve de concept.
