Abstract:	We report on 100nm thick free standing Silicon-nitride waveguide suspended in air used to detect MEMS movement by applying evanescent field sensing. We discuss both design and technolgical aspects for fabricating these decvces as well as experimental results on the insertion loss of realised devices.
