1. A system, comprising:
a photonic crystal cavity;
a first electrode formed on top of the photonic crystal cavity;
a resonant structure having a frame defined by a periphery and an inner ladder of unit cells disposed inside the periphery of the frame, wherein the inner ladder of unit cells is disposed within the photonic crystal cavity, wherein the first electrode is disposed on at least a portion of the frame, and wherein the inner ladder comprises a suspended crystalline structure;
a second electrode disposed on at least a portion of the inner ladder; and
an input/output circuit electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode.
