Abstract
A nano-electromechanical optical switch includes an input optical waveguide that is provided with an optical signal. At least two output optical waveguides are coupled to the input optical waveguide. The deflection of the input optical waveguide aligns with one of either of the two output optical waveguides so as to allow transmission of the optical signal to one of either of the two output optical waveguides.
