Construction of a structural design method of structures that have new electromagnetic wave functions using mechanical properties

近年来，具有新型电磁波传播性能的新结构如光子晶体结构受到了广泛的关注。这种新型结构有望用于开发夜视仪、激光雷达、自动巡航毫米波雷达等高性能设备。在本研究中，我们基于拓扑优化方法的概念，开发了一种结构设计方法，用于设计由介电材料组成的结构，并通过施加适当和指定的力来改变电磁波的传播性能。

Recently, new structures that have new types of electromagnetic wave propagation performance such as photonic crystal structures have been widely paid attention. Such new structures are expected to be used for developing high performance devices such as night visions, laser radars, and milli-meter wave radars for automatic cruising. In this research, we developed a structural design method for the design of structures that are composed of dielectric materials, and that can change electromagnetic wave propagation performance by applying appropriate and specified forces, based on the concept of the topology optimization method.
