A sensitivity analysis method for topology optimization using TD–BPM is formulated based on an adjoint variable method (AVM). A density method is used as a way to represent refractive index distribution. As design examples, a loss–reduced bending waveguide and a reflector are designed. It is confirmed that our design approach can surely enhance the performance of optical waveguide devices.}, pages = {20180417--20180417}, title = {Topology optimal design for optical waveguides using time domain beam propagation method}, volume = {15}, year = {2018}, yomi = {イグチ, アキト and ツジ, ヤスヒデ and ヤスイ, タカシ and ヒラヤマ, コウイチ} }
