Inverse-designed multi-dimensional silicon photonic transmitters
Ki Youl Yang, Alexander D. White, Farshid Ashtiani +33
Modern microelectronic processors have migrated towards parallel computing architectures with many-core processors. However, such expansion comes with diminishing returns exacted b…
Inverse-Designed Photonic Crystal Circuits for Optical Beam Steering
Dries Vercruysse, Neil V. Sapra, Ki Youl Yang +1
The ability of photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) to confine and slow down light makes them an ideal component to enhance the performance of various photonic devices, such as optic…
Inverse-designed photonics for semiconductor foundries
Alexander Y. Piggott, Eric Y. Ma, Logan Su +7
Silicon photonics is becoming a leading technology in photonics, displacing traditional fiber optic transceivers in long-haul and intra-data-center links and enabling new applicati…
Nanophotonic Inverse Design with SPINS: Software Architecture and Practical Considerations
Logan Su, Dries Vercruysse, Jinhie Skarda +3
A computational nanophotonic design library for gradient-based optimization called SPINS is presented. Borrowing the concept of computational graphs, SPINS is a design framework th…
On-chip integrated laser-driven particle accelerator
Neil V. Sapra, Ki Youl Yang, Dries Vercruysse +8
Particle accelerators represent an indispensable tool in science and industry. However, the size and cost of conventional radio-frequency accelerators limit the utility and reach o…
Inverse-designed photonic circuits for fully passive, bias-free Kerr-based nonreciprocal transmission and routing
Ki Youl Yang, Jinhie Skarda, Michele Cotrufo +6
Nonreciprocal devices such as isolators and circulators are key enabling technologies for communication systems, both at microwave and optical frequencies. While nonreciprocal devi…
Inverse-Designed Diamond Photonics
Constantin Dory, Dries Vercruysse, Ki Youl Yang +10
Diamond hosts optically active color centers with great promise in quantum computation, networking, and sensing. Realization of such applications is contingent upon the integration…
Inverse design and demonstration of broadband grating couplers
Neil V. Sapra, Dries Vercruysse, Logan Su +4
We present a gradient-based optimization strategy to design broadband grating couplers. Using this method, we are able to reach, and often surpass, a user-specified target bandwidt…
Fully-automated optimization of grating couplers
Logan Su, Rahul Trivedi, Neil V. Sapra +3
We present a gradient-based algorithm to design general 1D grating couplers without any human input from start to finish, including a choice of initial condition. We show that we c…
