Abstract
We present microstructured optical fibers exhibiting microelectromechanical functionality. Optical transmission is controlled by mechanical actuation through gas pressure, temperature, or electrostatically via fiber-embedded electrodes. We demonstrate light switching, other applications include sensing and nonlinear optics.
