We present preliminary study on optical phased array technology aiming free-space optical communication for optical feeder link of High Throughput Satellite in the future. The propagation of non-Gaussian beams produced with optical phased array has been estimated less affected by atmospheric turbulence than a single Gaussian beam. 2-elements optical phased array has also demonstrated both beam pointing control and 5.6 Gbps free-space optical communication.
