Funded Activity Summary

A framework for optimisation and concurrent design in photonics. 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.
