title: Isomeric photonic molecules formed from coupled microresonators.
abstract: Isomeric photonic molecules were formed by connecting four identical cavities in different geometries: a chain, a square, and a T shape. The optical mode spectrum in these structures exhibits three-dimensionally confined photonic states, which have been studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The energies of the optical modes depend strongly on the molecule geometry. The experimental data are in good agreement with detailed calculations of the fields in the cavities.
