Abstract

We demonstrate a method for fabricating organic optical microcavities which can be electrostatically actuated to dynamically tune their optical output spectra. Fabrication of an integrated organic micro-opto-electro-mechanical system (MOEMS) cavity is enabled by the solvent-free additive transfer of a composite membrane. Electrical actuation and optical characterization of a completed cavity show resonance tuning greater than 20 nm for membrane deflections of over 200 nm at 50 V.
