In this study, the Bi-BPM based on scaled-version Denman-Beavers iteration (S-DBI) with branch-cut technique, and scattering operator formulation (SO-Bi-BPM) is employed to execute stable, accurate wave-propagation analysis. Comparing three computation approaches of sensitivity with respect to design variables, efficient way of sensitivity analysis is revealed when the SO-Bi-BPM is used. The application range of the presented design approach is studied by designing a wavelength filter with waveguide grating, and a polarizer based on 1D photonic crystal (1D-PhC).}, title = {Sensitivity-Based Structural Optimal Design With Bi-Directional Beam Propagation Method for Photonic Devices in High-Index-Contrast Waveguides}, volume = {12}, year = {2020}, yomi = {イグチ, アキト and モリモト, ケイタ and ツジ, ヤスヒデ} }
