Abstract :
We present device applications for Nano-Opto-Electro-Mechanical System (NOEMS) structures based on the evanescent-wave bonding acting on silicon slot-waveguides. Useful all- optical or electrooptical functionalities include: phase modulation, polarization mode dispersion, near-field probing and reconfigurable optical delay.
