Design of optical circuit devices based on topology optimization

We apply a design method based on topology optimization technique to optical waveguide devices. In our approach, after a refractive index profile in a design region is automatically generated using a topology optimization method, the obtained structure is redefined using primitive geometries with some design parameters and those parameters are optimized by a sequential linear programming. As numerical examples, we demonstrate how the method can be used for 90/spl deg/ bends and T-branching waveguides with arbitrary splitting ratio.
