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…
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…
Physics-informed neural networks with hard constraints for inverse design
Lu Lu, Raphael Pestourie, Wenjie Yao +3
Inverse design arises in a variety of areas in engineering such as acoustic, mechanics, thermal/electronic transport, electromagnetism, and optics. Topology optimization is a major…
Approaching the upper limits of the local density of states via optimized metallic cavities
Wenjie Yao, Mohammed Benzaouia, Owen D. Miller +1
By computational optimization of air-void cavities in metallic substrates, we show that the local density of states (LDOS) can reach within a factor of of recent theor…
Limits to surface-enhanced Raman scattering near arbitrary-shape scatterers
Jérôme Michon, Mohammed Benzaouia, Wenjie Yao +2
The low efficiency of Raman spectroscopy can be overcome by placing the active molecules in the vicinity of scatterers, typically rough surfaces or nanostructures with various shap…
Controlling Surface-plasmon-polariton Launching with Hot Spot Cylindrical Waves in a Metallic Slit Structure
Wenjie Yao, Chengwei Sun, Jianjun Chen +1
Plasmonic nanostructures, which are used to generate surface plasmon polaritions (SPPs), always involve sharp corners where the charges can accumulate. This can result in strong lo…
