Integrated spectrometer and displacement sensor based on mechanically tunable photonic crystals

Abstract

We present a nano-opto-electro-mechanical sensor based on electrostatically tunable double-membrane photonic crystal cavities. We demonstrate free-space and waveguide coupling schemes for the input light, while the readout is... [ view full abstract ]
