Analog Silicon Photonic MEMS Phase-Shifter with Double-Step Electrostatic Actuation

Abstract

We present the design of an analog Silicon Photonic MEMS phase shifter based on vertically moving adiabatic couplers. Using a two-step electrostatic actuation method, the phase shifter can be turned on selectively by applying... [ view full abstract ]
