Inverse Problem Techniques for the Design of Photonic Crystals (INVITED)

This paper provides a review on the optimal design of photonic bandgap structures by inverse problem techniques. An overview of inverse problems techniques is given, with a special focus on topology design methods. A review of first applications of inverse problems techniques to photonic bandgap structures and waveguides is given, as well as some model problems, which provide a deeper insight into the structure of the optimal design problems.
