Abstract
Concepts borrowed from the electronic band structure can be used to describe the behavior of lightwaves in a periodic dielectric medium. An example of such a medium is an optical ring resonator with a backscattering element, e.g., an etalon. Here the periodicity is topological, the periodicity length being the circumference of the ring.1,2
