We present a two-dimensional (2D) Si photonics optical phased array (OPA) using a serpentine design which eliminates the long directional couplers used in many 2D OPA designs. It significantly reduces the distance between the antenna benefitting far-field sidelobe reduction while maintaining high optical power use efficiency.
