LiDAR Beamsteering by Digitally Switched MEMS Gratings on a Silicon Photonics Platform

A new method for solid-state beamsteering using MEMS grating switches integrated on a Si-PIC has been demonstrated. This method provides fast random access switching, simple digital control, extremely low side-lobes, and is scalable to large arrays, large apertures, and long ranges.
