The frequency splitting of nearly degenerate optical modes in weakly deformed microdisks is investigated. According to a mirror-reflection symmetry of the cavity, the even and odd parity modes are studied. A semiclassical approach of dynamical tunneling (resonance-assisted tunneling) is implemented in order to explain the frequency splitting between clockwise and counterclockwise propagating waves. We deduce semiclassical predictions for the frequency splittings which agree well with full numerical calculations. As a representative deformation of an integrable and non-integrable systems, the ellipse and the quadrupole shapes are examined in detail. Different properties of the frequency splittings following the Dirichlet and dielectric boundary conditions are discussed.
