Zusammenfassung:An apparatus includes a photonic integrated circuit having a first lenslet array and a first antenna element array forming a first pupil of the photonic integrated circuit and a second lenslet array and a second antenna element array forming a second pupil of the photonic integrated circuit, where the second pupil has a different size than the first pupil. The photonic integrated circuit also has a waveguide layer positioned between the first and second pupils, where the waveguide layer includes multiple waveguides configured to guide optical signals between antenna elements of the first antenna element array and antenna elements of the second antenna element array.
