About
Mikko Harjanne is a leading researcher in silicon photonics, with a primary focus on optical phased arrays (OPAs) and their applications in beam steering and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). His work centers on advancing integrated photonic technologies for next-generation sensing and communication systems. Harjanne’s major contributions include the design, fabrication, and characterization of high-channel-count 1D OPAs on a 3 µm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, demonstrating wavelength-tuned beam steering with enhanced precision. In a notable 2024 study, he and his team successfully integrated a 512-channel OPA with a 3D-printed lens, achieving optical beam steering and distance measurement experiments—a key step toward compact, solid-state LiDAR systems. While his most-cited paper currently holds 2 citations, reflecting its recent publication, Harjanne’s work is foundational in the field, pushing the boundaries of scalable, chip-scale photonic solutions. His research is highly relevant for students and engineers exploring integrated optics, offering practical insights into the challenges of pitch optimization and edge-coupling in dense OPA arrays.
