Abstract

A 1×1 optical switch using an integrated photonic crystal with microelectromechanical system (MEMS) actuators was demonstrated. A bi-state photonic bandgap (PBG) structure was dynamically driven by a MEMS actuator to control the light propagation. An extinction ratio of 11 dB was demonstrated between the transmission state and reflection state for 1.56 μm wavelength.
