  • Abstract
    We are developing a MEMS-based device that can produce continuously tunable delays of optical signals. The design is based on coupled dual suspended waveguides fabricated in Indium Phosphide. We report on simulation-based optimisation of optical and mechanical properties of the structure and on current progress in fabrication.
