Abstract
We demonstrate an opto-electro-mechanical phase shifter. A suspended microbridge is electrostatically actuated to strongly-interact with a weakly-confined waveguide mode. The resulting effective index tuning substantially exceeds that achievable with thermo-optic and electro-optic approaches.
