Abstract: A display system includes an integrated laser and modulator device and a display assembly. The integrated laser and modulator device includes a laser component configured to facilitate light emission responsive to applied current and a modulator component configured to selectively modulate light responsive to applied signal. The modulator component is integrally coupled to the laser component via a bridging structure that intervenes between the laser component and the modulator component. At least a portion of the bridging structure facilitates power reflectivity into a laser cavity of the laser component. The bridging structure facilitates transmission of light emitted by the laser component into the modulator component for modulation by the modulator component to provide modulated light. The display assembly is configured to direct the modulated light provided by the integrated laser and modulator device to illuminate pixels to form an image.

Abstract: An optical modulator includes a substrate and an optical waveguide group. The optical waveguide group includes a pair of relay optical waveguides, a pair of first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides, and a pair of second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides. The pair of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are connected to the pair of the relay optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at positions that deviate from each other in a longitudinal direction of the substrate. The pair of the second Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides are provided on a pair of branched waveguides of each of the first Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides and includes input ends arranged at symmetric positions with respect to a straight line that passes through an input end serving as a branch point of the branched waveguides and that extends in the longitudinal direction of the substrate.

Abstract: An integrated optical beam steering device includes a planar dielectric lens that collimates beams from different inputs in different directions within the lens plane. It also includes an output coupler, such as a grating or photonic crystal, that guides the collimated beams in different directions out of the lens plane. A switch matrix controls which input port is illuminated and hence the in-plane propagation direction of the collimated beam. And a tunable light source changes the wavelength to control the angle at which the collimated beam leaves the plane of the substrate. The device is very efficient, in part because the input port (and thus in-plane propagation direction) can be changed by actuating only log2 N of the N switches in the switch matrix. It can also be much simpler, smaller, and cheaper because it needs fewer control lines than a conventional optical phased array with the same resolution.
