Abstract
The paper deals with optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and in particular with optical MEMS based on moving waveguides. After a short overview of this very attractive novel activity, specific technological problems and solutions are discussed. Then the following examples of recent developments based on silica on silicon technology are presented: optical switch, vibration sensor, and optical scanner
