The weightlessness of light has been identified very early as a key advantage for micro-actuator application, giving rise to optical free-space MEMS devices. In parallel to these developments, the past 20 years saw the emergence of a less pursued approach relying on guided optical wave, where, pushed by the similarities in fabrication process, researchers explored the possibilities offered by merging integrated optics and MEMS technology. The interest of using guided waves is well known (absence of diffraction, tight light confinement, small size, compatibility with fiber optics) but it was less clear how they could be harnessed with MEMS technology. Actually, it is possible to use MEMS actuators for modifying waveguide properties (length, direction, index of refraction) or for coupling light between waveguide, enabling many new devices for optical telecommunication, astronomy or sensing. With the recent expansion to nanophotonics and optomechanics, it seems that this field still holds a lot of promises.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi7020018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,25]],"date-time":"2016-01-25T10:03:06Z","timestamp":1453716186000},"page":"18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Devices Based on Co-Integrated MEMS Actuators and Optical Waveguide: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0460-1746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franck","family":"Chollet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FEMTO-ST Institute, Universit\u00e9 Bourgogne Franche-Comt\u00e9, CNRS UMR 6174, 15B Avenue des Montboucons, 25030 Besan\u00e7on cedex, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2059","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1538-7305.1969.tb01165.x","article-title":"Integrated optics: An introduction","volume":"48","author":"Miller","year":"1969","journal-title":"Bell Syst.
