Abstract
A low power electro-optic switch based on the electrostatic deformation of suspended silicon waveguides is proposed. Simulated results show complete switching of power with an applied voltage of 1.2 V for a 270 μm long directional coupler switch. The device footprint is less than 270 μm × 10 μm.
