AB  - Recent developments in chemical processes to prepare single-crystalline nanowire 
      (NW) superlattices (SLs) have discovered a range of unique nanophotonic 
      properties. In particular, diameter-modulated silicon NW geometric SLs (GSLs) 
      have shown their ability to produce complex interference effects through which 
      enhanced light manipulation is achieved. Here, we re-imagine the origin of the 
      complex interference effects occurring in shallow-modulated GSLs and present a 
      refractive index modulation as a key deciding factor. We introduce the design of 
      a NW refractive index SL (ISL), a hypothetical uniform-diameter NW in which the 
      refractive index is periodically modulated, and explain the coupling effect 
      between Mie resonance and bound guided state. We apply the ISL concept to other 
      NW SL systems and suggest potential routes to bring substantial enhancements in 
      lasing activities.
