Thermo-optic tuning and switching in SOI waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities.
TL;DR: Compact silicon-on-insulator waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors with high-Q cavities enabling fast switching at low drive power (<10 mW) are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors
TL;DR: In-plane microfabricated Fabry-Perot cavities with cryogenically etched silicon/air distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirrors and integrated silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides with Thermo-optic tuning over 6.7 nm is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical property measurement of InP-based MEMS for optical communications
TL;DR: In this article, a material system and fabrication process for indium phosphide (InP)-based beam-type electrostatic actuators is presented, and a beam profile measurements, nanoindentation, beam bending, and electrostatic testing methods are evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the first trace gas Raman spectra using integrated nanophotonic waveguides were collected using 9.6 mm-long waveguide exposed to ambient trace concentrations of ethyl acetate, methyl salicylate, and dimethyl sulfoxide with one-sigma limits of detection in 100 s integration times equal to 600 ppm, 360 ppb, and 7.6 ppb.
Journal ArticleDOI
InP-based optical waveguide MEMS switches with evanescent coupling mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, an optical waveguide MEMS switch fabricated on an indium phosphide (InP) substrate for operation at 1550 nm wavelength is presented, which utilizes evanescent coupling between two closely-spaced waveguides fabricated side by side.
