  • Abstract
    This paper presents a spatial light modulator-based optical beamformer with 100 (10times10) elements, and its experiments in Ku band, such as the amplitude and the phase distribution, and the beam steering control. Moreover, its two-dimensional beam steering experiment is also demonstrated. Measurements agree well with the corresponding calculations.
