On-chip mirror beamforming

Systems and architectures for transmitting and receiving collimated beams directly from a photonic chip via an on-chip mirror beamforming device to reduce manufacturing difficulty and optical aberration are disclosed. More specifically, an elliptical or parabolic mirror may be used in a photonic chip to collimate the beam emanating from the waveguide port and further implement techniques such as wavefront error correction and beam steering without moving the components. 本发明公开了用于经由片上反射镜波束成形装置直接从光子芯片发送和接收准直光束以减少制造难度和光学像差的系统和架构。更具体地，椭圆形或抛物面反射镜可以用于光子芯片中，以使从波导端口发出的光束准直，并且在无需移动部件的情况下进一步实现诸如波前误差校正和波束调向等技术。
