  • Tunable optical device
    Patent number: 10509172
    Abstract: A tunable optical device comprising an optical ring cavity and one or more pairs of electrodes for capacitive actuation of the optical tuning. Applying a potential difference to the electrodes applies a capacitive force to the optical ring cavity which changes the optical resonance frequency. The device can be used as a binary optical switch.
