Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark have developed a way to make a chip that focuses on LiDAR for beam steering smaller and more affordable for its multiple uses in different ...

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 ...

Optical phased arrays (OPAs) and beam steering technologies represent a transformative approach in photonic systems, offering rapid and reliable control of light propagation without reliance on ...

In three recent papers, engineers report the first demonstration of optical phased array technology on-chip at both near infrared and blue wavelength with applications in a broad range of research ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new chip-based beam steering technology that provides a promising route to small, cost-effective and high-performance lidar systems. Lidar, which uses laser pulses to ...

Though radar is the more prevalent object detection system, the lesser-known ladar -- radar that uses lasers instead of radio frequencies -- produces a more detailed result. The problem though, is ...

Most people are familiar with the concept of RADAR. Radio frequency (RF) waves travel through the atmosphere, reflect off of a target, and return to the RADAR system to be processed. The amount of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
