Integrated optical phased arrays for AR displays, 3D printing, biophotonics, and beyond (Invited Paper)
28 January 2025 • 3:40 PM - 4:10 PM PST | Moscone South, Room 307 (Level 3)
Abstract
Integrated Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs), fabricated in advanced silicon-photonics platforms, enable manipulation and dynamic control of free-space light in a compact form factor, at low costs, and in a non-mechanical way. This talk will highlight our work on developing OPA-based platforms, devices, and systems that enable chip-based solutions to high-impact problems in areas including LiDAR sensing for autonomous vehicles, augmented-reality displays, 3D printing, optical trapping for biophotonics, and trapped-ion quantum engineering.
