Optimization of integrated silicon photonics devices with fabrication feasibility

Abstract

Silicon photonics is a rising technique in many aspects due to its complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor compatibility, low-cost fabrication, large-volume manufacturing, and high-density packing. Designing high-performance devices becomes increasingly important as the demand for silicon photonic devices increases. To meet this challenge, employing various optimization methods is crucial to enhance device performance and functionality. This thesis explores the application of various design and optimization methods in the design of silicon photonic devices. The research work presented aims to design high-performance photonic devices using different methods, paving the way for building large-scale silicon photonic circuits.
