Prof T Srinivas of IISc Benagluru

Micro-opto-electro-mechanical system (MOEMS) technology promises compact and functional devices for applications ranging from optical communications to optical sensors.  In this presentation,  common types of MOEM sensors such as for pressure, vibration, rotation, acceleration and  force are reviewed  along with their structure and performance. The focus here is on sensors based on light guidance in integrated optical waveguide devices controlled by MEMS structures.  Recently there is considerable interest in integrated optic ring resonators and photonic bandgap structures  as they provide wavelength and spectral based measurements, along with providing more compact structures.   Here we present our recent work on two types of MOEMS sensors.
