摘要：

Dynamic beam switching of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) have been demonstrated for the first time using integrated optical beam routers, The output beam of the VCSEL is switched electrically between two different emission angles, High-speed switching up to 2 GHz has been achieved with an 8 mu m x 8 mu m device, Such beam-steering devices are particularly suitable for optical interconnect and photonic switching applications, By integrating the beam routers with VCSEL's, the complexity and size of the switching nodes are significantly reduced.
