  • Abstract
    We present the first experimental demonstration of beam steering based on a slow light waveguide amplifier. Continuous and clear beam steering of over 30 degrees is observed by tuning the wavelength of input light. The result is in good agreement with simulation, exhibiting a potential of large number of resolution points.
