[WE2] Plasmonics for Communications and Novel Design Technique

[WE2-2] From Inverse Design to Implementation of Practical Photonics

Invited

Ki Youl Yang, Jinhie Skarda, Neil V. Sapra, Logan Su, Dries Vercruysse, Rahul Trivedi, Alexander Piggott, 〇Jelena Vučković (Stanford Univ., USA)

Keywords:Photonic Integration, Advanced Passive Devices, Optical isolator, circulator, variable attenuators, Micro- and nano-optics and related devices

We demonstrate a computational, optimization-based approach to inverse-design photonic devices meeting desired performance specifications. Several applications range from compact wavelength-demultiplexer devices to quantum optics and chip-scale LIDAR.
