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

ADELPHI, Md. (June 11, 2014) -- The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Computational and Information Science Directorate's Intelligent Optics Team, and partners, recently developed, engineered, ...

This compact technique could be used for augmented reality, trapped ion quantum computers and optogenetic neural stimulator. Beam steering systems have been used for many years for applications such ...

New York, NY--March 19, 2020--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 ...

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) introduces the new Phased Array Antenna Control and Calibration solution, a breakthrough over-the-air (OTA) calibration ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has demonstrated solid-state optical phased array technology in a microchip, bringing the ability to bend light to the battlefront. Share on ...

The lower image is an illustration of the optical phased array, while the upper two panels are scanning electron microscope images of the array (left) and an individual element of the array (right).

I often wonder if there is something beyond our grasp and perhaps “other-worldly” about elemental Silicon (Si), which is the primary material for most ICs and discrete semiconductors work. Yes, there ...
