Electro-optic modulated phase array in hexagonally poled lithium niobate for flexible array illuminator device
We present an adaptive and dynamic hexagonal electro-optic phase array. The proposed device consists of a 2-dimensional hexagonal array of periodically inverted ferroelectric domains, along the z-axis, in lithium niobate crystals. The phase step is achieved via the application of an external electric field, along the z-axis, through transparent electrodes. Thanks to the electro-optic effect the phase step can changed with continuity over all the 0 to 2pi by applying a variable voltage. In this way different patterns can be generated. In fact, one important property of this new proposed configuration of array illuminator is the intrinsic flexibility.

Abstract
We present an adaptive and dynamic hexagonal electro-optic phase array. The proposed device consists of a 2-dimensional hexagonal array of periodically inverted ferroelectric domains, along the z-axis, in lithium niobate crystals. The phase step is achieved via the application of an external electric field, along the z-axis, through transparent electrodes. Thanks to the electro-optic effect the phase step can changed with continuity over all the 0 to 2pi by applying a variable voltage. In this way different patterns can be generated. In fact, one important property of this new proposed configuration of array illuminator is the intrinsic flexibility.
