title: Resonant guided wave networks.
abstract: A resonant guided wave network is an optical materials design consisting of power-splitting elements arranged at the nodes of a waveguide network. The resulting wave dispersion depends on the network layout due to localized resonances at several length scales in the network. These structures exhibit both localized resonances with a Q approximately 80 at 1550 nm wavelength as well as photonic bands and band gaps in large periodic networks at infrared wavelengths.
