Abstract
We study the operation of an all-optical, integrated, beam scanning device based on nonlinear grating coupling between radiative and guided-wave beams. Diffusive nonlinearities are considered and the salient features are compared with previous experimental results obtained in ZnS waveguides.Keywords
