Programmability and reconfigurability provide exciting opportunities for integrated optics. In particular, the use of microelectromechanical tunable elements in silicon-based integrated photonics offers interesting options for scalable programmable photonics. In this invited talk, we will discuss our recent progress in developing compact, low-power, reconfigurable MEMS-based building blocks, namely tunable directional couplers and phase shifters, for a number of applications in photonic signal processing, computing, and communication.

A presentation by the invited speaker Jaime Garcia Rupérez, Nanophotonics Technology Center UPV (Spain). The Nanophotonics Technology Center (NTC), placed at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) campus, was created on 2005 to become a leading R&D center in nanophotonic science and technology. Our main mission is to place the NTC at the forefront of the knowledge in fundamental nanophotonic science as well as to use this knowledge to build novel materials, devices and systems for a wide range of applications.
