titled “Optical tweezing of microparticles and cells using silicon-photonics-based optical phased arrays,” the team concluded, “This work introduces a new modality for integrated optical ...

(Nanowerk News) Chip-scale silicon photonics optical phased array (OPA) is widely used in free-space communication. However, due to the limitation of optical device design and manufacture, the ...

Its high cost, however, remains a major obstacle to mass integration. Leveraging silicon photonics, CEA-Leti has been working on Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs) to produce cost-effective and compact ...

So say researchers at Columbia University in New York led by Michal Lipson who have made an optical phased array (OPA) with a wide field of view that contains no ... While OPAs are smaller, they are ...

Abstract: We present a 1 × 16 silicon optical phased array using electro-optic phase shifters to attain high-speed operation with low power consumption. The phase shifters are constructed using a ...

it can be used for microchannels which act as optical waveguides leading to highly integrated electro-optical devices. That’s where silicon’s characteristics are now being applied to create ...

It uses a heterodyne architecture on a thin silicon-photonics integrated SOI (silicon on insulator ... A similar principle is used in reverse in an optical phased array receiver, which is the basis ...

Abstract: We review recent advances in integrated large-scale optical phased arrays. The design and fabrication of large-scale optical phased arrays using silicon photonic circuits are discussed from ...
