Integrated Photonic Microsystems

This chapter provides an introduction in the simulation and design of integrated photonic microsystems. Using optical beamformers as case study, with applications in LiDAR or wireless optical telecommunication, basic building blocks for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are introduced. Besides the discussion of their key performance metrics, their modeling and purpose in optical phased array sub-systems, the chapter extends to the simulation of their grouped performance assembled in a simple scanner.
