Abstract
We have been investigating an optical phased array (OPA) using an electro-optic (EO) polymer, that can control the shape and direction of an optical beam at high speed. In this study, we propose an OPA which consists of hybrid waveguides with organic and inorganic optical core materials. By applying the taper structure to the inorganic core at the connection part, we inproved coupling efficiency.
