Systematic design of single-mode coupled-resonator optical waveguides in photonic crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
By establishing a direct relation between the dispersion and the field profile of a coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) and those of its constituent cavities, we present a systematic method for the design of a single-mode CROW and for control of ...
