Resonant guided wave networks (RGWNs) are demonstrated to operate based on dielectric waveguides, broadening the scope of this optical design approach beyond plasmonics. The intersection of two dielectric waveguides that is modified by a tuned scattering particle is shown to function as an equal power splitting element, a key enabler of resonant guided wave networks. We describe structures composed of two types of waveguides, Si slabs and SOI ribs, at the telecom frequencies using both, Au and etch, based scatterers.
