Three-branch optical waveguides have been optimized as numerical examples. Equally branching three-branch waveguides are achieved using our method. A limitation of topology optimization in two dimensions and dependency of initial structure are also shown.}, pages = {3765--3770}, title = {Design of Three-Dimensional Optical Circuit Devices by Using Topology Optimization Method with Function-Expansion-Based Refractive Index Distribution}, volume = {31}, year = {2013}, yomi = {ヤスイ, タカシ and ツジ, ヤスヒデ and スギサカ, ジュンイチロウ and ヒラヤマ, コウイチ} }
