1. A device comprising:
a relay element formed without a cladding and comprises:
one or more of a first component engineered structure;
one or more of a second component engineered structure; and
one or more of a third component engineered structure;
wherein the first, second, and third component engineered structures have different wave propagation properties and are fused to form a solid structure;
wherein the relay element is operable to relay energy along the longitudinal direction through both the first component engineered structure and second component engineered structure, the energy being relayed is spatially localized in the transverse direction;
wherein the first component engineered structure is aligned such that energy is propagated through the first component engineered structure with a higher transport efficiency in the longitudinal direction versus the transverse direction; and wherein the second component engineered structure is aligned such that energy is propagated through the second component engineered structure with a higher transport efficiency in the longitudinal direction versus the transverse direction; and
wherein the third component engineered structure has a wave propagation property the relay element to reduce energy not spatially localized in the transverse direction.
