Abstract
This paper is concerned with topology optimization of a coupled optical and mechanical wave propagation problem in
photonic crystals. It is motivated by the potential gain in functionality of optical devices where mechanical Rayleigh waves (travelling
in the surface of the material) play a leading role. The practical applications cover novel optical modulators, switches and frequency
shifters. The work uses COMSOL Multiphysics which is a modern and finite element based modelling language.
