Silicon photonic MEMS phase shifter with μs time constant built on a foundry platform

Abstract

MEMS enable low power tuners in silicon photonics, but existing phase shifters lack in range, speed, and loss. We implement a 2 π phase shifter with a 1.54 μs time constant and 0.5 dB insertion loss in IMEC’s iSiPP50G platform.
