    Abstract: A compact micro electrical mechanical actuated ring-resonator includes a bus waveguide disposed on a platform; a ring resonator disposed on the platform, including at least a first optical coupler, wherein the ring resonator is optically coupled with the bus waveguide; and a selective waveguide disposed on a piezoelectric cantilever mounted in a trench defined in the platform, wherein the selective waveguide includes a second optical coupler and is controllable to selectively adjust a coupling ratio between the first optical coupler with the second optical coupler by physically changing a distance between the first optical coupler and the second optical coupler.

    Abstract: A method of rotating polarization of light travelling in a waveguide includes receiving an optical signal having a first polarization state at a first section of the waveguide, the first section of the waveguide being disposed on a plane of a substrate, using a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device, angling a second section of the waveguide out of the plane of the substrate, and outputting the optical signal with a second polarization state, different from the first polarization state, on a third section of the waveguide, the third section of the waveguide also being disposed on the plane of the substrate. A control loop is provided to sense the polarization shift to control the angle of the MEMS device to compensate for that shift.
