Abstract:
We introduce a programmable diffractive optical element based on an electro-optic phased array implemented with a multichannel lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate phase modulator. The design and fabrication procedures are outlined, along with an experimental demonstration of the device. Experimental results from a 16-channel device operating with a 2pi ; voltage of 300 V demonstrate selective beam steering. The programmable diffractive optical element allows for efficient, high-speed high-resolution random-access optical beam steering over a continuous scanning range.
