Topology optimization is the process of determining the optimal layout of material and
connectivity inside a design domain. This paper surveys topology optimization of continuum …

Topology optimization is a computational tool that can be used for the systematic design of
photonic crystals, waveguides, resonators, filters and plasmonics. The method was originally …

Mesh convergence and manufacturability of topology optimized designs have previously
mainly been assured using density or sensitivity based filtering techniques. The drawback of …

A major difficulty in applying computational design methods to nanophotonic devices is
ensuring that the resulting designs are fabricable. Here, we describe a general inverse …

To ensure manufacturability and mesh independence in density-based topology
optimization schemes, it is imperative to use restriction methods. This paper introduces a …

Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter …

In this paper we present an extension of the topology optimization method to include
uncertainties during the fabrication of macro, micro and nano structures. More specifically …

The need for dimensional micro and nano metrology is evident, and as critical dimensions
are scaled down and geometrical complexity of objects is increased, the available …

In this paper, we innovatively demonstrate a rotatable direct-binary-search algorithm. Based
on this unique inverse design method, the coupling region of nanophotonic device can be …

Nano-photonic technologies of GaAs-based two-dimensional photonic crystal (2DPC) slab
waveguides (WGs) and InAs-based quantum dots (QDs) are reviewed for a symmetrical …
