This development has been spurred by recent applications in datacenter communications and enabled by the availability of standardized mature technology platforms. Mechanical movement of wave-guiding structures at the micro- and nanoscale provides unique opportunities to further enhance functionality and to reduce power consumption in photonic integrated circuits. We here demonstrate integration of MEMS-enabled components in a simplified silicon photonics process based on IMEC's Standard iSiPP50G Silicon Photonics Platform and a custom release process.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicQuantum Science & TechnologyOpticsPhysics, AppliedEngineeringPhysicsintegrated opticsmicroelectromechanical systemsnanophotonicsphotonic integrated circuitssilicon photonicsswitchestext::journal::journal article::research article
