Coupling dynamics between optical resonators generates much interest with possible applications e.g. in quantum information processing.

Microdisk dimers supporting high-quality and small mode volume whispering gallery modes are well suited candidates for the formation of photonic molecules.

Here, we investigate the coupling of two closely spaced GaInP microdisks with an inter disk separation below 100 nm. Local laser heating is used to overcome spectral mode detuning which results from the size mismatch of the two disks. To improve the local laser heating new structures with an additional heating layer are examined allowing the tuning of the cavity dimers independent of the excitation of single quantum dots coupled to the supermode.

In addition, by using a setup for imaging the dimers, we show an attractive way to observe the optical mode profile immediatedly.

To improve the coupling of the evanescent field of the WGMs between the disks, a new approach is to deform the disks to a more rectangular shape with rounded corners. We numerically investigate this approach using the Finite-difference time-domain method.
