Abstract:
An optical device may include a monolithic body of optical material including an optical signal port, an optical coupler/splitter portion including a plurality of optical couplers/splitters arranged in a planar configuration and coupled to the optical signal port, and a phase modulation portion including a plurality of phase shifters arranged in a planar configuration and coupled to respective ones of the plurality of optical couplers/splitters. The monolithic body may also include a fanning-array portion including a plurality of optical waveguides extending from the phase modulation portion in a planar configuration and fanning to a two-dimensional array on an edge of the monolithic body.
