  • Abstract
    A suspended optical waveguide displacement sensor (SOWDS) based on single crystal silicon beams with an inherent in-plane degree of freedom is presented. The SOWDS technology is based on the single crystal silicon reactive ion etching and metallisation (SCREAM) process, and opens new methods of monolithically integrating optical manipulation with SCREAM based sensors and actuators
