A new twist on the old varactor diode.
Optical tuning could definitely open up some new possibilities.

The varactor changed capacitance with changes in the bias voltage.
This one keeps the bias constant and the light varying causes change in capacitance. This could be used as a sensor for automatic gradual darkening of windows in homes, buildings and autos according to the brightness of the sun.

The mere mention of the varactor diode makes me think of Yvonne Craig.
