In large-scale optical phased arrays (OPAs), longitudinal beam steering via wavelength tuning typically forces multimode interference (MMI) couplers to deviate from their optimal design points, inducing substantial insertion loss. While this degradation may be negligible in discrete components, the excess loss rapidly accumulates within cascaded optical splitting networks, severely bottlenecking the system’s overall optical power budget.
