Schematic diagrams of the microdisk resonator with deformable waveguides. (a) At zero bias, the microdisk is completely uncoupled since the suspended waveguides are far away from the microdisk. (b) With voltage applied on the electrodes, the waveguides are bent toward the microdisk, increasing the coupling between the waveguides and the disk. Figures are taken from [39].
