Abstract
A micro-opto-mechanical switch 1*2 has been achieved using a combination of two technologies, integrated optics and micromachining on silicon. The commutation is obtained by means of the mechanical deflection of a cantilever beam driven by an electrostatic force. The first functional results are reported
