- Focal plane arrays (FPAs) promise robust solid-state beam steering for LiDAR and free-space optical communications. However, the need for external collimation lenses hinders chip-scale compactness. Discrete switching between FPA elements further introduces blind spots and limits the number of resolvable points, restricting applications that require continuous tracking. Here, we demonstrate a silicon photonic beam steerer based on a metalens FPA that monolithically integrates the collimation lens on-chip. Thermo-optic prisms enable continuous fine-tuning, eliminating blind spots and tripling the number of resolvable points. Continuous steering over a 62° field of view is achieved while maintaining high beam quality, with an average sidelobe suppression ratio of 19 dB.
