Suspended optical waveguides in InP for optomechanical applications
Suspended optical waveguides in InP for optomechanical applications
Optical micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) based on suspended optical waveguides offer a range of interesting applications, e.g. in optical communications and sensing. In particular, if the waveguide dimensions are sufficiently small and thus the evanescent field of propagating light extends beyond the guiding material into air, two closely spaced parallel waveguides become optically coupled with a coupling strength that is strongly dependent on the waveguide separation. This effect can be exploited for mechanically actuated optical switching, tuning of micro-resonators, or even for changing the speed of light. &more...

Abstract
Optical micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) based on suspended optical waveguides offer a range of interesting applications, e.g. in optical communications and sensing. In particular, if the waveguide dimensions are sufficiently small and thus the evanescent field of propagating light extends beyond the guiding material into air, two closely spaced parallel waveguides become optically coupled with a coupling strength that is strongly dependent on the waveguide separation. This effect can be exploited for mechanically actuated optical switching, tuning of micro-resonators, or even for changing the speed of light. &more...
