The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A fast low-power optical memory based on coupled micro-ring lasers (2004, methodology): “Low loss and reproducible coupling between resonators and waveguides have been predicted and demonstrated using various technique”
Strong coupling between distant photonic nanocavities and its dynamic control (2011, background): “When conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, photons in the individual nanocavities hardly leak out to the FP waveguide modes.”
Ultrahigh-$Q$ Nanocavities in Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Slabs (2006, background): “They are required for the realization of ultrasmall filters with high resolution [1]–[4], ultrasmall sensors [5], low-threshold lasers [6], single-photon”
Vector field microscopic imaging of light (2007, result): “Shown in Fig. 2d is the vector-plot image of a scan area of 1,140 nm$500 nm in thex‐zplane, with the total electric-field intensityjE x j 2 &jE z j 2 . Figure 2e presents a theoretical vector plot of an area of 250 nm$100 nm. Equation ( 3 ) appears to be in quite good agreement with the experimental”
