MEMS actuation for a continuously tunable optical buffer

We present our work towards development of an optical buffer based on the InP platform that consists of two suspended coupled optical waveguides. A continuously tunable delay in the propagation time can be achieved by varying the spacing between the waveguides using MEMS actuation. Up to 100% variation of the delay time with a driving voltage of 3 V is predicted.
