"Heavy" and "light" photon bands induced by symmetry in a linear array of Sagnac reflectors

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The band structure of a modified parallel-coupled-microring waveguide incorporating a directional coupler in each unit cell is studied. The dispersion relation splits into fast and slow bands determined by the symmetry of the Bloch waves.
