A circuit for switching on a partial circuit includes a first switching element, a second switching element, an activation circuit for the first switching element, a first diode, a second diode, and a third diode. At least one nanoelectromechanical dielectric perturber produces \xb145\xb0 birefringent axes by placing the at least one nanoelectromechanical dielectric perturber at selective positions around the phase retarder to produce dynamic change in the effective index in one of the modes existent in an extraordinary axial direction. On the Z-axis sensor component, inputoutput pads are all arranged in an array along one edge of the sensor to conductively cooperate with IO pads, or solder-filled vias, on the substrate located at a top edge of the channel.
