title: Synthesis of coupled resonator optical waveguides by cavity aggregation.
abstract: In this paper, the layer aggregation method is applied to coupled resonator optical waveguides. Starting from the frequency transfer function, the method yields the coupling constants between the resonators. The convergence of the algorithm developed is examined and the related parameters discussed.
