OPTICAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17796534 titled 'OPTICAL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an optical device that includes an end-fire optical phased array.
- The device uses an optical splitter to divide an optical signal into multiple channels.
- An optical phase controller is used to manipulate the phase of the optical signal.
- An end-fire optical radiator is used to emit the manipulated optical signal.
- A lens is positioned in the path of the emitted optical signal to control its vertical divergence angle.
Original Abstract Submitted
An optical device can include an end-fire optical phased array including an optical splitter to split an optical signal into a plurality of channels, an optical phase controller to control a phase of the optical signal transmitted from the optical splitter, and an end-fire optical radiator to radiate the optical signal transmitted from the optical phase controller. A lens can be further positioned on a path of the radiated optical signal to control a vertical divergence angle of the radiated optical signal.
