Abstract:
An optical device includes a first semiconductor substrate, a reference laser configured to generate coherent light, a plurality of first optical components, a plurality of second optical components, one or more first controllers configured to apply phase control signals to said plurality of first optical components to apply a phase shift, and one or more second controllers configured to apply pulse control signals to said plurality of second optical components such that a light pulse is outputted during a period of time that coherent light is received. The relative phase between emitted light pulses from the plurality of second optical components is controlled by the relative phase shifts applied by the one or more first controllers.
