Reply To: Question about custom monitors in inverse design

Hello,

Lumopt only works with guided mode power transmission, using mode overlap. Theoretically, this could be any FOM, lumopt in its current forms is restricted to considering only power transfer in guided mode optics.  The lumopt code would need to be modified to run an adjoint simulation based on the FOM used. There has been some unreleased work to look at optimizing for a free space field intensity profile, but this case for OAM beams you would need phase\polarization profile as well.

 

Best,
