In this paper, we propose a topology optimization method based on the covariance matrix
adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) as a method for solving multimodal structural …

Random lasers are generated by multiple light scattering in disordered optically gain
medium, which are fundamentally different from conventional lasers. Control of emission …

This letter presents a level set-based topology optimization method that provides discrete
cloaking configurations with superior performance. In some cases, the amount of light …

We present a powerful computational approach to simulate the threshold behavior of
photonic-crystal quantum-dot (QD) lasers. Using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) …

We have derived an analytical solution for an incoherent component of light scattered by a
normally illuminated monolayer of homogeneous spherical particles. It is based on the quasi …

The problem of light scattering and absorption by a monolayer of homogeneous spherical
particles at an arbitrary angle of incidence of a plane wave, which determines the phase shift …

This work explores the room temperature random stimulated emission at 1.064 μm of a Nd:
YAG crystal powder (Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) in a very simple pump …

Designing light sources with controllable properties at the nanoscale is a main goal in
research in photonics. Harnessing disorder opens many opportunities for reducing the …

The concept of topology-optimized carpet cloaks is presented using level-set boundary
expressions. Specifically, these carpet cloaks are designed with the idea of minimizing the …

We have developed a method for describing the angular distribution of intensity of radiation
scattered by a monolayer of homogeneous spatially ordered monodisperse spherical …
