Summary

The objective of this proposed research is to develop efficient optimization methods for the design of integrated photonic devices. Topology optimization is an inverse design paradigm that enables the design of ultra-compact, high-performing integrated photonic devices for foundry processes. This work will focus on modifying the topology optimization pipeline to enable design using multiple different design paradigms (e.g. a combination of parameter optimization and topology optimization). Additionally, the simulation methods used can be reconfigured to enable the optimization of ultra-long integrated photonic devices such as multimode interferometers that exceed the simulation capability of traditional electromagnetic solvers.
