Abstract
- In this paper, we present numerical and experimental study on beam steering with liquid-crystal optical phased array (LC-OPA) by means of stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The numerical simulation, which is mainly based on the evolution of power-in-bucket (PIB), indicates that the beam steering strategy with LC-OPA is relatively robust, and the algorithm performs well most of the time. The results also reveal that the performance of SPGD algorithm is influenced by the order of Zernike polynomials, the radius of bucket and the steering angle. The order of Zernike polynomials and the radius of bucket are optimized to improve the accuracy and convergence of the algorithm. In a proof-of-concept experiment, the feasibility of the beam steering strategy with LC-OPA is demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
