Deformed mesh in Stress-Optical Effects

Hi,
I have a question concerning the model Stress-Optical Effects (www.comsol.com/showroom/gallery/190/). In step 1, the structural mechanics module calculates the deformed structure. Does Comsol then automatically use the deformed mesh for the calculation of the optical modes?
In the example, an optical computation domain boundary is defined. Suppose now that the deformation is so great that the waveguide is no longer in this domain, does the optical computation boundary move/deform along with the waveguide and the rest of the structure or do I need to add a ALE?
Thanks,
Elewout
