RT Conference Proceedings T1 Metamaterial antenna array fed by distributed Bragg deflector for SOI platform A1 Ginel-Moreno, Pablo A1 Hadij-El-Houati, Abdelfettah A1 Sánchez-Postigo, Alejandro A1 Wanguemert-Pérez, Juan Gonzalo A1 Molina-Fernández, Íñigo A1 Schmid, Jens H. A1 Cheben, Pavel A1 Ortega-Moñux, Alejandro K1 Antenas de reflector AB We propose a distributed Bragg deflector working as a low loss (<0.3 dB) ultra compact beam expander, which generates an on chip Gaussian beam that illuminates a 1D array of 112 optical antennas with a length of 1.5 mm . The device has been fabricated on a 220 nm silicon on insulator platform using a single etch process with a minimum feature size of 80 nm. We present an antenna array with a directivity of 53 dBi , a radiation efficiency of 3.8 dB and a far field spot with an angular divergence of 1.8 × 0.2 YR 2022 FD 2022 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/24755 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/24755 LA eng NO Universidad de Málaga.
