Abstract

We proposed a new type of plasmonic optical phased array consisting of an array of plasmonic phase modulators based on electro-optic polymers^[1]. The proposed device has only one optical peak at a wavelength of 1.55um, and the output light can be deflected and scanned over a range of more than 100 degrees by voltage control, which is confirmed by numerical calculation using the two-dimensional FDTD method. A Small-sized (70^*26um²), low-voltage (Less than 10V), high-speed and low-power optical phased array could be designed.
