Rotated Subgrids in the FDTD Method [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2016
Although the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is well established for addressing a wide variety of problems, a long standing challenge is to reduce discretization errors while avoiding the use of impractically large numbers of cells, particularly when the structure is large and contains regions of fine detail. One solution is to use subgrids,

Epitaxial Integration of III–V Membrane Photodetectors With Lateral p–i–n Junctions on the Silicon‐On‐Insulator Waveguide Platform

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Epitaxial growth forms III–V membranes directly atop the silicon waveguide layer on SOI, while in‐plane in situ doping defines lateral p–i–n InP/InGaAs junctions in a single growth step. The membrane photodetectors achieve 50 Gb/s NRZ‐OOK operation.

Intrinsically Design‐Rule‐Compliant Nanophotonic Inverse Design via Learned Generative Manifolds

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A generative reparameterization framework for nanophotonic inverse design is introduced, restricting optimization to a learned manifold of design‐rule‐compliant geometries. Unlike conventional penalty‐based approaches, fabrication constraints are encoded intrinsically within the design representation.
