Broadband waveguide intersection with low crosstalk in two-dimensional photonic crystal circuits by using topology optimization

Opt Express. 2006 Oct 2;14(20):9502-7. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.009502.

Abstract

Topology optimization has been used to design intersections in two-dimensional photonic crystal slab waveguides. We have experimentally confirmed that the optimized intersection displays high-transmittance with low-crosstalk for the straightforward beam-propagation line.
