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.
