Fiber-optic MEMS which is fabricated by combining direct photo-lithography of optical fiber and silicon micro-machining is proposed. Preliminary results of micro-machining of optical fiber and variable telecommunication devices are presented.

An electrostatically driven micromirror is described. The vertical comb of a three-dimensional microstructure is realized by bending the device wafer having microstructures. By resetting the bending angle, the tuning of the vertical gap between moving and stationary combs is possible. The characteristics of the vertical comb drive actuator can be tuned, confirming the performance.
