Abstract:

Optical beam-steering is becoming a key optical


functionality in free-space optical links used for
communication and sensing. For example, in recent times,
compact, wide-angle, fast, multi-axis beam steering is used
extensively for LiDAR system in automotive vehicles, remote
sensing platforms and deep-space optical communication.
The state-of-the-art beam steering optics are typically based
on mechanical, optical and/or electronic array designs. The
present work investigates alternate schemes to perform
multi-axis beam steering using one-dimensional diffraction
gratings. Various schemes to perform multi-axis steering
utilizing spectral scanning, pitch tuning and grating
azimuthal rotation are discussed.

More specifically, rigid silicon nitride gratings on glass


substrate are designed for polarization-independent,
spectrally scanned steering. The silicon nitride structures are
optimized to achieve high diffraction efficiency for both
linear polarizations by interfacing MATLAB based Genetic
Algorithm Optimization and Lumerical FDTD based optical
simulations. The dynamic steering is studied by varying the
wavelength of incidence beam and azimuthal rotation of the
grating about the normal to the grating. In diffraction
gratings, the change in wavelength has the same effect as
the change in pitch of the grating. Thereby flexible silicone
material, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based grating is
designed and optimized for polarization insensitive, high
diffraction efficiency into a particular order and simulated for
pitch tuning and azimuthal rotation. Lastly, experimental
study of multi-axis beam steering using glass blazed gratings
by incorporating spectral scanning and azimuthal rotation is
discussed.
