Abstract
An electro-optical conversion system including an opto-mechanical conversion device which includes a ring cavity formed by an optical waveguide which extends along an annular closed curve, a micromechanical resonator that comprises at least one microbeam, and a zipper type element integrated into the ring cavity, the zipper type element including a first arm made on a portion of the ring waveguide and a second arm made on the microbeam. The conversion system also includes a capacitor with first and second electrodes separated by a gap which varies when the microbeam oscillates.
