Abstract
Optical phased array antennas (OPAs) have significant potential for optical beam steering, which has the application to high speed optical wireless links. In this paper, the characteristics of a two dimensional OPA with a structure composed of 2×2 and 4×4 antenna elements are verified. Beam steering by wavelength tuning of -0.16°/nm is measured and a required steering range of 1.97° is achieved within a -3dB coverage range of 5° in the theta direction and 7° in the phi direction.
