Abstract

An optomechanical system including a guide structure, to guide a light beam; and two waveguide segments. Each guide structure include beams that together form two combs partially nested one in the other. At least one beam is free to move in translation along an axis orthogonal to the long axis of the guide structure. A displacement into an optical phase shift, while limiting additional effects on the intensity.
