Coupled waveguides with MEMS actuation for continuously tunable optical buffering

Coupled waveguides with MEMS actuation for continuously tunable optical buffering
Coupled waveguides with MEMS actuation for continuously tunable optical buffering
We propose a chip-based optical buffer that is continuously tunable by microelectromechanical actuation. The device consists of two identical semiconductor waveguides with a mechanically variable gap in-between, allowing for a change of group delay of over 100% and for extremely broadband operation.

Abstract

We propose a chip-based optical buffer that is continuously tunable by microelectromechanical actuation. The device consists of two identical semiconductor waveguides with a mechanically variable gap in-between, allowing for a change of group delay of over 100% and for extremely broadband operation.
