Abstract:
Existing OPAs are typically based on 2D rectangular arrays or 1D linear arrays. Both approaches present a limited field-of-view (FOV) due to the presence of the grating lobes when the element spacing is larger than λ/2. To address the need for an increased steering range, we propose a new design strategy of an OPA system utilizing a 2D circular phased array, with a substantially increased FOV. We present a circular OPA using a demonstrated antenna element design, with an 820-element array. A steering range ΩSR calculated as a solid angle of 0.51π sr, and an angular beamwidth of 0.22°, was achieved. The array exhibits a sidelobe suppression larger than 10 dB, and a FOV of 2π sr. Although the performance is limited by the far field pattern of the individual antenna we chose, our circular OPA achieved, to the best of our knowledge, the largest steering range reported to date compared to the state-of-the-art integrated optical phased arrays reported in literature.

Abstract:
A chip-level optical beam steerer is an inevitable choice for next-generation light detection and ranging (LiDAR). The research on optical phased array (OPA) is the most intriguing. However, the complexity of control and calibration speed limit the full potential as the number of channels increases. In this paper, an improved stochastic parallel gradient-descent algorithm combined with the Nesterov accelerated gradient method (NSPGD) is presented and applied in a 512-channel OPA. This algorithm can reduce the phase calibration time of large-scale OPA and demonstrates a better convergence performance than traditional SPGD. Compared with the traditional SPGD and hill-climbing (HC) algorithm, optimized convergence performance of NSPGD is shown. The side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of over 10dB for 512-channel OPA is obtained with the NSPGD algorithm, and the convergence speed is twice that of traditional SPGD. In addition, a temperature-controlled OPA is also studied to stabilize the whole calibration system.

Abstract:
In this work, heterogeneous integration of both two-dimensional (2D) optical phased arrays (OPAs) and on-chip laser arrays based on a silicon photonic platform is proposed. The tunable multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser arrays, active switching/shifting arrays, and grating antenna arrays are used in the OPA module to realize 2D spatial beam scanning. The 2D OPA chip is composed of four main parts: (1) tunable MQW laser array emitting light signals in the range of 1480–1600 nm wavelengths; (2) electro-optic (EO) switch array for selecting the desired signal light from the on-chip laser array; (3) EO phase-shifter array for holding a fixed phase difference for the uniform amplitude of specific optical signal; and (4) Bragg waveguide grating antenna array for controlling beamforming. By optimizing the overall performances of the 2D OPA chip, a large steering range of 88.4° × 18° is realized by tuning both the phase and the wavelength for each antenna. In contrast to the traditional thermo-optic LIDAR chip with an external light source, the overall footprint of the 2D OPA chip can be limited to 8 mm × 3 mm, and the modulation rate can be 2.5 ps. The ultra-compact 2D OPA assembling with on-chip tunable laser arrays using hybrid integration could result in the application of a high-density, high-speed, and high-precision lidar system in the future.

Abstract:
Relative intensity noise (RIN) is an important factor that determines the performance of optical phased arrays (OPA) that are configured using semiconductor lasers as light emission sources. This study proposes a method of improving the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of an OPA by reducing the RIN and using high coherence of optically injection-locked (OIL) laser arrays. We numerically demonstrated a laser RIN reduction of 22.7 dB by the OIL laser compared to a free-running laser. We achieved an OPA RIN reduction of 13.2 dB by combining the coherent outputs with the uncorrelated noise of 21 OIL lasers, compared to a single OIL laser RIN. Consequently, we demonstrated an OPA OSNR increase of approximately 13.8 dB based on the OIL-based OPA compared to that of the conventional noise-correlated OPA configuration. Additionally, we confirmed the maintenance of OPA OSNR improvement during OPA operations.

Abstract:
An optical phased array (OPA), especially a two-dimensional (2D) OPA, suffers from the trade-off among steering range, beam width, and the number of antennas. Aperiodic 2D array designs currently aimed to reduce the number of antennas and reduce grating lobes within a wide range fall short when an aperture approaches millimeter size. A circular OPA design is proposed to address this issue. The circular design substantially reduces the number of antennas while achieving the same wide steering range and narrow beam width of optimized aperiodic 2D OPA designs. Its efficient suppression of grating lobes, the key to a wide steering range with minimal number of antennas and large antenna spacing, is theoretically studied and validated by simulation. The novel, to the best of our knowledge, design allows less than 100 antennas, orders of magnitude reduction, for millimeter size aperture OPA designs. It paves the way for commercialization by significantly reducing control complexity and power consumption.

Abstract:
A silicon photonics-based optical phased array (OPA) is promising for realizing solid-state and miniature beam steering. In our work, a 1 × 16 silicon optical phased array (OPA) hybrid integrated with a III–V laser is proposed and demonstrated. The III–V laser chip is vertically coupled with a silicon OPA chip based on a chirped grating coupler with a large bandwidth. The coupling efficiency reaches up to 90% through utilizing the metal reflector underneath the silicon oxide layer. The one-dimensional antenna array comprising silicon waveguides with half-wavelength spacing enables beam steering with none high-order grating lobes in a 180° field of view. The measured beam steering angle of the hybrid integrated OPA chip is ±25°, without grating lobes, and the suppression ratio of the side-lobes is larger than 9.8 dB with phase calibration.

Abstract:
The on-chip nano-integration of large-scale optical phased arrays (OPAs) is a development trend. However, the current scale of integrated OPAs is not large because of the limitations imposed by the lateral dimensions of beam-splitting structures. Here, we propose an ultra-compact and broadband OPA beam-splitting scheme with a nano-inverse design. We employed a staged design to obtain a T-branch with a wavelength bandwidth of 500 nm (1300–1800 nm) and an insertion loss of −0.2 dB. Owing to the high scalability and width-preserving characteristics, the cascaded T-branch configuration can significantly reduce the lateral dimensions of an OPA, offering a potential solution for the on-chip integration of a large-scale OPA. Based on three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D FDTD) simulations, we demonstrated a 1 × 16 OPA beam-splitter structure composed entirely of inverse-designed elements with a lateral dimension of only 27.3 μm. Additionally, based on the constructed grating couplers, we simulated the range of the diffraction angle θ for the OPA, which varied by 0.6°–41.6° within the wavelength range of 1370–1600 nm.

Abstract:
The high security of optical phased array (OPA) signals is an important requirement for OPA-based optical wireless communication (OWC). We propose a method for improving the security of OPA-based OWC systems using optically injection-locked (OIL) semiconductor lasers. We theoretically demonstrate the amplitude and phase modulation of OIL-OPA elements by controlling the injection-locking parameters of the OIL lasers. When a Taylor window function is applied as the amplitude profile of the OPA transmitter, the sidelobe level decreases by 22 dB and the unsecured distance reduces 10 times compared to the case without the Taylor window function. In addition, the unsecured area factor becomes 0.8%.

Abstract:
On-chip optical phased arrays (OPAs) are the enabling technology for diverse applications, ranging from optical interconnects to metrology and light detection and ranging (LIDAR). To meet the required performance demands, OPAs need to achieve a narrow beam width and wide-angle steering, along with efficient sidelobe suppression. A typical OPA configuration consists of either one-dimensional (1D) linear or two-dimensional (2D) rectangular arrays. However, the presence of grating sidelobes from these array configurations in the far-field pattern limits the aliasing-free beam steering, when the antenna element spacing is larger than half of a wavelength. In this work, we provide numerical analysis for 2D circular OPAs with radially arranged nano-antennas. The circular array geometry is shown to effectively suppress the grating lobes, expand the range for beam steering and obtain narrower beamwidths, while increasing element spacing to about 10 μm. To allow for high coupling efficiency, we propose the use of a central circular grating coupler to feed the designed circular OPA. Leveraging radially positioned nano-antennas and an efficient central grating coupler, our design can yield an aliasing-free azimuthal field of view (FOV) of 360°, while the elevation angle FOV is limited by the far-field beamwidth of the nano-antenna element and its array arrangement. With a main-to-sidelobe contrast ratio of 10 dB, a 110-element OPA offers an elevation FOV of 5° and an angular beamwidth of 1.14°, while an 870-element array provides an elevation FOV up to 20° with an angular beamwidth of 0.35°. Our analysis suggests that the performance of the circular OPAs can be further improved by integrating more elements, achieving larger aliasing-free FOV and narrower beamwidths. Our proposed design paves a new way for the development of on-chip OPAs with large 2D beam steering and high resolutions in communications and LIDAR systems.

Abstract:
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR), combining traditional radar technology with modern laser technology, has much potential for applications in navigation, mapping, and so on. Benefiting from the superior performance, an all-solid-state beam steering realized by integrated optical phased array (OPA) is one of the key components in the LiDAR system. In this review, we first introduce the basic principle of OPA for beam steering. Then, we briefly review the detailed advances of different solutions such as micro-electromechanical system OPA, liquid crystal OPA, and metasurface OPA, where our main focus was on the recent progress of OPA in photonic integrated chips. Finally, we summarize the different solutions and discuss the challenges and perspectives of all-solid-state beam steering for LiDAR.
