Data driven design of optical resonators [PDF]
Optical devices lie at the heart of most of the technology we see around us. When one actually wants to make such an optical device, one can predict its optical behavior using computational simulations of Maxwell's equations. If one then asks what the optimal design would be in order to obtain a certain optical behavior, the only way to go further ...

Neural Lithography: Close the Design-to-Manufacturing Gap in Computational Optics with a 'Real2Sim' Learned Photolithography Simulator [PDF]
We introduce neural lithography to address the 'design-to-manufacturing' gap in computational optics. Computational optics with large design degrees of freedom enable advanced functionalities and performance beyond traditional optics. However, the existing design approaches often overlook the numerical modeling of the manufacturing process, which can ...

Hybrid design of spectral splitters and concentrators of light for solar cells using iterative search and neural networks [PDF]
The need for optically multi-functional micro- and nano-structures is growing in various fields. Designing such structures is impeded by the lack of computationally low-cost algorithms. In this study, we present a hybrid design scheme, which relies on a deep learning model and the local search optimization algorithm, to optimize a diffractive optical ...

Optical interconnection networks based on microring resonators [PDF]
Optical microring resonators can be integrated on a chip to perform switching operations directly in the optical domain. Thus they become a building block to create switching elements in on-chip optical interconnection networks, which promise to overcome
