Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and architecture for sending and receiving collimated beams directly from a photonic chip via on-chip mirror beamforming device to reduce manufacturing difficulties and optical aberrations. More specifically, an elliptical or parabolic mirror may be used in the photonic chip to collimate beams emitted from a waveguide port and to further enable techniques, such as wavefront error correction and beam steering, without moving parts.
