Abstract

A methodology for a rapid design optimization of integrated photonic couplers is presented. The proposed technique exploits variable-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) simulation models, additive response correction for accommodating the discrepancies between the EM models of various fidelities, and local response surface approximations for a fine tuning of the final design. A specific example of a 1,555 nm coupler is considered with an optimum design obtained at a computational cost corresponding to about 24 high-fidelity EM simulations of the structure.
