An on-chip optical phased array (OPA) is considered as a promising solution for next generation solid-state beam steering. However, most of the reported OPAs suffer from low operating bandwidths, making them limited in many applications. We propose and demonstrate a high-speed 2D scanning OPA based on thin-film lithium niobate phase modulators with traveling-wave electrodes. The measured modulation bandwidth is up to 2.5 GHz. Moreover, an aperiodic array combined with a slab grating antenna is also used to suppress the grating lobes of far-field beams, which enables a large field of view (FOV) as well as small beam width. A 16-channel OPA demonstrates an FOV of 50°×8.6° and a beam width of 0.73°×2.8° in the phase tuning direction and the wavelength scanning direction, respectively.
