An optical device includes a waveguide and a microdisk that is optically
coupled to the waveguide. The gap between the microdisk and the waveguide
is between 0.3 microns and 0.7 microns. The diameter of the microdisk is
between 15 microns and 50 microns. The quality factor of the microdisk is
at least 105. The microdisk is tuned optoelectrically or
piezoelectrically.
