  • Abstract
    We present the design and fabrication of an optical MEMS device on InP platform. The device is based on a suspended parallel waveguide configuration with side pillars supports. Electrodes are integrated on the device layer to provide MEMS actuation functionality to the waveguides. The device is designed to be used as an optical buffer for telecommunication applications.
