The photonic device modeling and optimizations has, commonly, required sophisticated computational approaches. This work presents an efficient Evolutionary Strategy (ESCH) algorithm to optimize unbalanced photonic coupler devices that are benchmarked with other algorithms. The successful results motivated the free online distribution of this algorithm on the MIT NLOpt Library.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
