High-speed optical phased array using high-contrast grating all-pass filters

A novel optical phased array is experimentally demonstrated with high speed (0.577 MHz) beam steering, which consists of 8×8 tunable 1550-nm all-pass filters with ultrathin high-contrast grating as the micro-electro-mechanically actuated reflector for fast tuning.
