Overview

SWEEPER, formally known as "Chip-scale Integrated Photonic Phased Array" (CHIPPA) aims to produce a phased array of waveguide-coupled surface gratings integrated with an on-chip tunable laser, amplifiers, and phase modulators for free-space beam control in 2 axes.

Simulations

Run 2 current injection modulator:
