This invention discloses a wiring structure and scanning control method for a focal plane
optical switch grating antenna array, belonging to the field of
planar optical waveguide technology. The wiring structure includes multiple
optical switch structural units arranged in an array, an optical
waveguide bus layer, a first
electrode wiring layer, and a second
electrode wiring layer. Both the first and second
electrode wiring
layers include electrode wirings, electrodes, and
control signal input contacts. The optical
waveguide bus layer includes at least one optical
waveguide bus and an
optical coupling input terminal. The optical waveguide bus connects
all optical switches in the array in series, and the
coupling waveguide ends of the optical switches are connected to the
grating transmitting antennas. The optical waveguide bus is located between the first and second electrodes and is parallel to the
coupling waveguides of the optical switches. This invention eliminates the need for selection switches, enabling independent control of the operating state of any
optical switch in the array. Furthermore, when the number of optical waveguide buses is greater than one, multiple optical switches can operate in parallel to improve the array scanning speed and flexibility.
