Abstract:

We demonstrate a hybrid external cavity laser (ECL) and an optical phased array (OPA) on the silicon photonics platform for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) application. The ECL can be modulated to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave signal. The 256-channel OPA allows high-resolution optical beam scanning.
