First, we discuss the trade-offs between beam switching and beam steering with arrays of photonic transmitters. Then, the designed transmitter is presented; it includes two 2×2 sub-arrays of stacked patches fed independently by two photodiodes. The transmitter is placed at the focal plane of a PTFE lens to increase the overall gain. Excitation of either sub-array allows 1D beam witching between ±2.7º for accurate beam alignment or reconfigurable links. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-03137064/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-03137064/file/PID6662081.pdf %L hal-03137064 %U https://hal.science/hal-03137064 %~ UNICE %~ UNIV-NANTES %~ INSTITUT-TELECOM %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ CNRS %~ INSA-RENNES %~ ENSSAT %~ IETR %~ FOTON %~ SUP_IETR %~ FOTON-INSA %~ FOTON_OHM %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-MATH-STIC %~ UR1-UFR-ISTIC %~ IETR-BEAMS %~ UNIV-COTEDAZUR %~ IETR-ADH %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ INSTITUTS-TELECOM %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ UR1-MATH-NUM %~ UR1-MMS %~ LEAT %~ IETR-SUMIT %~ NANTES-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-NANTES-AV2022
