Spectrally smooth broadband response via autocorrelation-constrained inverse design
Johannes Gedeon, Rasmus Ellebæk Christiansen, Ole Sigmund
Time-domain inverse design in photonics is known to be suitable for maximizing the efficiency of optical devices over broad frequency ranges. Objectives commonly used in this conte…
Engineering optical forces through Maxwell stress tensor inverse design
Beñat Martinez de Aguirre Jokisch, Rasmus Ellebæk Christiansen, Ole Sigmund
Precise spatial manipulation of particles via optical forces is essential in many research areas, ranging from biophysics to atomic physics. Central to this effort is the challenge…
Orders-of-magnitude reduction in photonic mode volume by nano-sculpting
Rasmus E. Christiansen, Jesper Mørk, Ole Sigmund
Achieving strong light-matter interaction is important for studying and exploiting several physics phenomena. The light-matter interaction strength depends on the optical field int…
Omnidirectional gradient force optical trapping in dielectric nanocavities by inverse design
Beñat Martinez de Aguirre Jokisch, Benjamin Falkenberg Gøtzsche, Philip Trøst Kristensen +3
Optical trapping enables precise control of individual particles of different sizes, such as atoms, molecules, or nanospheres. Optical tweezers provide free-space omnidirectional o…
Designing Structures that Maximize Spatially Averaged Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectra
Wenjie Yao, Francesc Verdugo, Henry O. Everitt +2
We present a general framework for inverse design of nanopatterned surfaces that maximize spatially averaged surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectra from molecules distributed random…
Observation of strong backscattering in valley-Hall photonic topological interface modes
Christian Anker Rosiek, Guillermo Arregui, Anastasiia Vladimirova +4
The unique properties of light underpin the visions of photonic quantum technologies, optical interconnects, and a wide range of novel sensors, but a key limiting factor today is l…
Electronic-photonic circuit crossings
Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Marcus Albrechtsen, Rasmus Christiansen +4
Electrical control of light in integrated photonics is central to a wide range of research and applications. It is conventionally achieved with thermo-optic tuning, but this suffer…
Trace formulation for photonic inverse design with incoherent sources
Wenjie Yao, Francesc Verdugo, Rasmus E. Christiansen +1
Spatially incoherent light sources, such as spontaneously emitting atoms, naively require Maxwell's equations to be solved many times to obtain the total emission, which becomes co…
Nanometer-scale photon confinement in topology-optimized dielectric cavities
Marcus Albrechtsen, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani, Rasmus Ellebæk Christiansen +8
Nanotechnology enables in principle a precise mapping from design to device but relied so far on human intuition and simple optimizations. In nanophotonics, a central question is h…
Towards 3D-Printed Inverse-Designed Metaoptics
Charles Roques-Carmes, Zin Lin, Rasmus E. Christiansen +5
Optical metasurfaces have been heralded as the platform to integrate multiple functionalities in a compact form-factor, potentially replacing bulky components. A central stepping s…
