OPTICAL PHASED ARRAY DEVICE FOR LIDAR SENSOR
Abstract:
An optical phased array device for a LIDAR sensor includes: a light source configured to irradiate a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength band; an input waveguide through which the laser beam irradiated from the light source passes; a slab waveguide disposed at an output end of the input waveguide to branch an optical signal input from the input waveguide; and a channel waveguide configured to distribute and guide the optical signal, branched by the slab waveguide, to M channels and to radiate the optical signal onto a free space. The channel waveguide may include a silia optical waveguide disposed for each of the M channels, and a length of each of the optical waveguides has a length difference ΔL from an adjacent waveguide.
