Large-scale Silicon Photonics Focal Plane Switch Array for Optical Beam Steering

Abstract: 

We report on 128×128-element two-dimensional silicon photonics focal plane switch arrays with microelectromechanical-system optical switches for random-access optical beam steering. A 70°×70° field-of-view and sub-MHz steering speed are experimentally demonstrated.
