Iterative approach for photonic crystal devices design by Pavel V. Mokshin, Dimitriy L. Golovashkin, Vladimir S. Pavelyev

“…The proposed approach differs from known general-purpose optimization methods (e.g., genetic algorithm or gradient procedures) by using diffraction pattern information at different frequencies while optimizing an element designed to operate at the selected wavelength. The design of functional PhC structures with expected characteristics (for example, waveguides) for a certain wavelength (albeit given by a monochromatic radiation source) is described. …”
