Abstract
An optoelectronic apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate and multiple arrays of emitters disposed on the semiconductor substrate and configured to emit beams of optical radiation. An optical substrate is mounted over the semiconductor substrate. An optical metasurface disposed on the optical substrate includes multiple optical apertures. Each aperture is configured to receive, collimate and split the beams emitted by a respective array of the emitters into a respective group of collimated sub-beams, so as to direct the collimated sub-beams toward a target at different, respective angles to form a pattern of spots on the target.
