Brief description Integrated optical phased arrays for light detection and ranging (LIDAR). This project aims to resolve challenging problems in light detection and ranging (LIDAR) to enable realisation of LIDAR sensors with low-power consumption, small size, high resolution and low cost. It proposes new techniques for integrated silicon photonic beam-steering to reduce the Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), and achieve high-resolution beams with hardware reduction. Outcomes herald disruptive, compact on-chip LIDAR technology for various applications including secure communications, miniaturized sensing, tracking systems, and autonomous vehicles. Significant benefits include industry growth, safeguarding Australia, and major economic benefits underpinning a huge market encompassing autonomous vehicles and robotics.\n
