Abstract
Finite difference time domain (FDTD) was used to model through a waveguide consisting of a deflecting cantilever butt-coupling into a fixed waveguide. Adequate dynamic range for signal modulation has been shown in the dependence of the signal transmitted power on the cantilever deflection has been presented for fabrication. Effects towards fabrication of modulated structure revealed stress gradients in SOI´s top Si layer that serves for cantilever structure.
