Abstract

High-speed electronic steering of the output beam of a 10-stripe laser-diode array is reported. The array was injection locked to a single-frequency laser diode. High-speed steering of the locked 0.5 degrees -wide far-field lobe is demonstrated either by modulating the injection current of the array or by modulating the frequency of the master laser. Closed-loop tracking bandwidths of 70 kHz and 3 MHz, respectively, were obtained. The beam-steering bandwidths are limited by the FM responses of the modulated devices for both techniques.
