Abstract
We demonstrate WG-modes degeneracy removal with simultaneous Q-factor enhancement in optimally-tuned symmetrical photonic molecules and directional emission from asymmetrical ones. Applications of such molecules to semiconductor, evanescent-wave-coupled-gain and random lasers, and biosensors are discussed.
