Paper Abstract
A micro-mechanical optical switch based on lateral deflection of a waveguide is described. The switching element is a suspended silicon beam formed by deep reactive ion etching and release of silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Actuation is implemented using integrated electrostatic comb drives. Dry etched polymeric optical waveguides are post processed onto the mechanical structure. We present design, simulations, and preliminary experimental results.
