Abstract

A tapering device coupling two monomodal waveguides is designed with the topology optimization method based on transient wave propagation. The gradient-based optimization technique is applied to predict the material distribution in the tapering area such that the squared output displacement (a measure for transmission) in the taper is maximized. High transmission in a large frequency range is gained by use of incident wave packets. To avoid nondiscrete properties in the design domain a density filtering technique is employed.
