Optical beamsteering using an 8 × 8 MEMS phased array with closed-loop interferometric phase control.
We present a high-speed optical beamsteering system based on an 8x8 MEMS phased array. The system incorporates an in situ interferometer that provides a real-time, dynamic measure of the phase of each mirror in the array during beamsteering. A closed-loop phase-control algorithm results in <π/100 mirror phase accuracy and far field beam steering is shown. Stroboscopic measurement capabilities a...
متن کاملPhased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter
This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...
متن کاملPhased Array Imaging in Mouse Hearts using an 8-Channel Phased Array Coil at 9.4 Tesla
Introduction: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in surgically or genetically modified mice is typically performed using single dedicated volume or surface coils. The development of coil arrays to speed-up CMR becomes more challenging with increasing magnetic field strength and reduced bore size of the magnet. While the use of coil arrays for cardiac MR exams of the human heart is well es...
متن کاملOptical phased array using high contrast gratings for two dimensional beamforming and beamsteering.
We have developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) optical phased array incorporating a high-index-contrast subwavelength grating (HCG) for beamforming and beamsteering in a range of ± 1.26° × 1.26°. Our approach needs only a thin single-layer HCG made of silicon, considerably improving its speed thanks to the low mass, and is suitable for high optical power applications. The measured res...
متن کاملOptical Phased Array Using Single Crystalline Silicon High-Contrast- Gratings for Beamsteering
We present a single crystalline silicon optical phased array using high-contrast-gratings (HCG) for fast two dimensional beamforming and beamsteering at 0.5 MHz. Since there are various applications for beamforming and beamsteering such as 3D imaging, optical communications, and light detection and ranging (LIDAR), it is great interest to develop ultrafast optical phased arrays. However, the be...
