Abstract
This paper presents a design and synthesizing preprocess of silicon-integrated focal plane plasmonic switch array (FPPSA) to sensitize the beam steering sensor functions in the wider field-of-view (FoV). Initially, FPPSA is formulated with the base plasmonic beam steering theory and then we designed a structure with a 24 × 24 FPP switch array using 480 nm wider plasmonic reactive beam steering which is integrated to accomplish a phase noise of less than 0.005 dB. Furthermore, the proposed sensor is synthesized with electromechanical plasmonic unbuffered phase switches with absorption of greater than 2.66 dB/m, error estimation of 0.355 dB/m, power group index of 5.08–8.058 and the coupling coefficient of 0.22–0.856, beam divergence 0.045° × 0. 45° behavioral analysis has been done. The numerical result shows that conduction distance with the potentials 0.366 eV and 0.199 eV by the power of 20 nW are used to achieve near and far FoV of 45° × 45°−120° × 120 °. The comparative study is carried out with the existing methods (thermo optics, electro-optics, MEMS sensor beam steering sensor). Finally, the proposed design is done by exploring the Ansys Lumerical simulator. The synthesizing results received the confidence of FoV to obtain good stability in blind zone suppressed by beam steering for autonomous navigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
