Abstract :
This paper presents experimental performance of Optical Leaky Wave Antenna (OLWA) using waffle waveguide (WWG). The antenna is fabricated by silicon photonics technology to achieve high directivity gain leaky waveguide antenna with small perturbation parameter of WWG. Narrow beam and one-dimensional beam scanning is demonstrated by sweeping input wavelength of OLWA. The measured WWG performance is also compared with a grating waveguide antenna.
