A framework for optimisation and concurrent design in photonics

该项目将开发一个并行工程框架，用于设计和优化光子器件，特别是微结构光纤和布拉格光栅。将开发用于电信、汽车和传感部门的新型光纤设计和脉冲操纵光栅设计。用于分析制造过程中产生的扰动和缺陷的新算法将被纳入使用进化算法的集成优化框架中。神经网络将被训练来学习结构设计参数和设备性能参数之间的潜在关系。新的并行工程框架还将确定制造技术中阻碍进一步发展的关键点。

This project will develop a concurrent engineering framework for the design and optimisation of photonic devices, specifically microstructured fibres and Bragg gratings. Novel fibre designs and pulse manipulation grating designs for the telecommunications, automotive and sensing sectors will be developed. New algorithms for the analysis of perturbations and imperfections arising from manufacturing processes will be incorporated into an integrated optimisation framework that uses evolutionary algorithms. Neural networks will be trained to learn the underlying relationships between structural design parameters and device performance parameters. The new concurrent engineering framework will also identify the critical points in fabrication technologies impeding further progress.
