Abstract: An optical switch includes a bus waveguide supported by a substrate, an actuation electrode supported by the substrate, the actuation electrode having fins that protrude in a direction perpendicular to the substrate and to the bus waveguide, and a reaction electrode having interdigitated fins configured to form a comb drive with the actuation electrode. When a voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is less than a lower threshold, the reaction electrode is positioned a first distance from the bus waveguide, when the voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is greater than an upper threshold, the reaction electrode is positioned a second distance from the bus waveguide, and the second distance is less than the first distance.

Abstract: An optical switch includes a first bus waveguide supported by a substrate, an optical antenna suspended over the first bus waveguide via a spring, and interdigitated electrodes coupling the substrate with optical antenna and configured to control a position of the optical antenna relative to the first bus waveguide. When a voltage difference applied to the interdigitated electrodes is less than a lower threshold, the optical antenna is at a first position offset from the first bus waveguide, when the voltage difference applied to the interdigitated electrodes is greater than an upper threshold, the optical antenna is at a second position offset from the first bus waveguide, and the offset at the second position is greater than at the first position.

Abstract: An optical switch includes a bus waveguide supported by a substrate, a coupling waveguide suspended over the bus waveguide, a reaction electrode coupled with, and adjacent to, the coupling waveguide, an actuation electrode supported by the substrate and configured to control a position of the coupling waveguide relative to the bus waveguide via the reaction electrode, and an optical antenna coupled with the coupling waveguide and disposed at a fixed distance from the bus waveguide. When a voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is less than a lower threshold, the coupling waveguide is positioned a first distance from the bus waveguide, when the voltage difference between the reaction electrode and the actuation electrode is greater than an upper threshold, the coupling waveguide is positioned a second distance from the bus waveguide, and the second distance is less than the first distance.

Abstract: An interferometer includes a holding element having an actuation recess, a first mirror element arranged on the holding element opposite the actuation recess, and a second mirror element arranged opposite the first mirror element at a mirror distance, to form an optical slit. The first mirror element is arranged between the second mirror element and the holding element and the optical slit is spatially separated from the actuation recess by the first mirror element. The interferometer further includes an electrode pair including a first actuation electrode in one of the mirror elements and a second actuation electrode on a side of the actuation recess opposite the first actuation electrode. The mirror distance can be varied by applying an electrical voltage to the electrode pair.

Abstract: A micro-hotplate apparatus including a diaphragm carrier device; a diaphragm that at least in part spans at least one cavity embodied in the diaphragm carrier device; and at least one heating conductor disposed on and/or in the diaphragm, the micro-hotplate apparatus additionally encompassing at least one reflector element that is disposed on an inner side, directed toward the cavity, of the diaphragm, in such a way that by way of the at least one reflector element a thermal radiation emitted from the at least one heating conductor and/or from the diaphragm is reflectable at least in part back onto and/or into the diaphragm. A sensor having a micro-hotplate apparatus is also described.

Abstract: For a MEMS component, in the layer structure of which at least one sound-pressure-sensitive diaphragm element is formed, which spans an opening or cavity in the layer structure and the deflections of which are detected with the aid of at least one piezosensitive circuit element in the attachment area of the diaphragm element, design measures are provided, by which the stress distribution over the diaphragm surface may be influenced intentionally in the event of deflection of the diaphragm element. In particular, measures are provided, by which the mechanical stresses are intentionally introduced into predefined areas of the diaphragm element, to thus amplify the measuring signal. For this purpose, the diaphragm element includes at least one designated bending area, which is defined by the structuring of the diaphragm element and is more strongly deformed in the event of sound action than the adjoining diaphragm sections.
