Meandering waveguide distributed feedback structures are introduced as novel integrated photonic lightwave circuit elements, and analyzed in the frequency domain by transfer matrix method. The directional coupling of electromagnetic field occurs at meander points. meandering loop mirror is building block all waveguide-based elements. simplest uncoupled structure exhibits Rabi splitting transmittance spectrum. symmetric antisymmetric coupled geometries can be utilized bandpass, Fano, or Lorentzian filters splitters. with a variety spectral responses designed for element functions.
