Theoretical and Experimental Demonstration on Grating Lobes of Liquid Crystal Optical Phased Array

High deflection efficiency is one of the urgent requirements for practical liquid crystal optical phased array (LC-OPA). In this paper, we demonstrate that high order grating lobes induced from fringe effect are the most important issue to reduce occupation of main lobe. A novel theoretical model is...
