Everything about Integrated optical phased array
Integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) are chip-based solid-state devices that can steer, shape, or focus beams of light. They typically work by splitting the beam into an array of nanoscale emitters and controlling the phase of each individual emitter. The individual emitted waves then combine and interfere to steer the resulting beam at the intended angle. Wikipedia →
