ABSTRACT:
A periodic structure is disclosed that includes an array of point defects within the periodic structure. The array includes point defects in a least two dimensions of the periodic structure. Each point defect permits electromagnetic fields of a first wavelength that is otherwise within a band gap range of the periodic structure to exist in each of the point defects.
