Inverse design in nanophotonics
Sean Molesky,Zin Lin,Alexander Y. Piggott,Weiliang Jin,Jelena Vuckovic,Alejandro W. Rodriguez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline a cross-section of key developments in this emerging field of photonic optimization: moving from a recap of foundational results to motivation of applications in nonlinear, topological, near-field and on-chip optics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inverse design and demonstration of a compact and broadband on-chip wavelength demultiplexer
Alexander Y. Piggott,Jesse Lu,Konstantinos G. Lagoudakis,Jan Petykiewicz,Thomas M. Babinec,Jelena Vuckovic +5 more
TL;DR: An on-chip integrated wavelength demultiplexer designed using an inverse computational algorithm is experimentally demonstrated in this paper, where 1,300 and 1,550 nm wavelength light is sorted in a device area of just 2.8 µm2.

Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication-constrained nanophotonic inverse design.
TL;DR: A general inverse design algorithm for nanophotonic devices that directly incorporates fabrication constraints is described and a compact, broadband 1 × 3 power splitter is designed on a silicon photonics platform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inverse design and demonstration of a compact on-chip narrowband three-channel wavelength demultiplexer
TL;DR: In this paper, an inverse design and experimentally demonstrate a three-channel wavelength demultiplexer with 40 nm spacing (1500, 1540, and 1580 nm) with a footprint of 24.75 μm2.
