Abstract

A 500nm wide 260nm thick 63.4μm long silicon microring waveguide was suspended in air by connecting to a comb actuator with the low-loss suspension arms. The airgap between the microring and the input/output waveguides was adjusted by a voltage applied to the comb actuator to vary the coupling efficiency. Transmittance from the input to the drop waveguides was varied from 0% at the gap of 750nm to 50% maximum value (about 30dB) at the voltages from 0V to 28V. Under the drop condition, the bandwidth of the drop signal was 0.5nm, corresponding to the Q-value of 3100.
