Abstract
An optical antenna, an optical phased array transmitter, and a lidar system using the same are provided. The optical antenna includes a substrate that forms at least a portion of a reflector layer having a first material, a waveguide layer disposed above the reflector layer and having a second material, a separation layer disposed between the waveguide layer and the reflector layer and having a third material. The waveguide layer further has a first grating array. The reflector layer reflects the light emitted downwards from the waveguide layer. The refractive index of the third material is smaller than that of either the first material or the second material.
