Reduced-crosstalk antennas for grating-lobe-free and wide-field-of-view integrated optical phased arrays.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) have emerged as a promising technology for many applications due to their ability to dynamically control free-space optical beams in a compact and non-mechanical manner. However, these integrated OPAs typically have a restricted field of view (FOV), limited by grating lobes caused by large antenna pitches that are typically necessary to reduce crosstalk between the antennas in the integrated OPA. In this work, we develop and experimentally demonstrate for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a set of integrated grating-based antennas with significantly-reduced inter-antenna crosstalk that enable half-wavelength-pitch integrated OPAs with grating-lobe-free and wide-FOV functionality. First, we derive a generalized theoretical model to describe the coupling dynamics between lossy modes in a system and use this model to analyze the coupling between antennas. Next, we design and demonstrate a set of three integrated grating-based antennas with different propagation coefficients to enable reduced inter-antenna crosstalk, successfully measuring a significant reduction from 100% to 1% coupling. Finally, using these reduced-crosstalk antennas, we develop and demonstrate a half-wavelength-pitch integrated OPA, successfully demonstrating grating-lobe-free and wide-FOV functionality. This work facilitates new functionality for high-performance integrated OPAs.
