Deformed microdisc cavities possess versatile application potential ranging from microlasers to sensors. Here, we investigate arrays of several coupled microcavity resonators. The coupling interaction between the cavities induces a wide range of features that sensitively depend on, and therefore can be controlled via, the intercavity distance. We use semiclassical methods from mesoscopic optics to characterise the system and its dynamics in real and phase space using Husimi functions. Our findings can inspire novel optical devices such as supersensors or novel light sources.
