Abstract
A device according to one example of principles described herein may include a backplane, electrochemical actuator, and an optical resonator, wherein the electrochemical actuator is located between the backplane and optical resonator. Applied energy may be used to modify the volume of the electrochemical actuator material modifying the resonant/interferometric absorption, transmission, and reflection at visible and/or infrared frequencies.
