Hello,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am going through the Python documentation in Lumreical and had a question regarding the adjoint optimization available in lumopt. I read that “It should be noted here that the FOM we accept is power coupling of guided modes<\/span><\/span><\/a>. Other figures of merit, such as optimizing the target phase or power to a specified grating order are not supported.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Does this mean that lumopt right now is only available for waveguide optimizations? I was trying to use the lumopt for reducing scattering from a set of nanoparticles. So I was wondering if lumopt and adjoint optimization are applicable to other cases rather than waveguides and if yes, how can they be used because I did not see a non-waveguide example on the website?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-287987","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-lumopt-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
