Design of Photonic Phased Array Switches Using Nano Electromechanical Systems on Silicon-on-insulator Integration Platform

This thesis presents an introduction to the design and simulation of a novel class of integrated photonic phased array switch elements. The main objective is to use nano-electromechanical (NEMS) based phase shifters of cascaded under-etched slot nanowires that are compact in size and require a small...
