Abstract
On-chip integration of metasurfaces with optoelectronic components enables the manufacture of reliable and low-cost systems that do not require post-fabrication alignment and assembly. Here we present an on-chip miniature beam scanning metasystem by integrating a large 2D array of VCSELs and a metalens. The beam scanner measures 4 mm*4 mm*3 mm and scans a ~1 mW laser beam at 940 nm with <1 degree divergence angle over a 140 degree*140 degree field of view with <30 mW of power consumption. The scanner switches between two angles in <1 µs, enabling the realization of fully-integrated miniature imaging lidar systems.
