Abstract

Toward an engineering optimization for photonic band-gap structures in waveguide filter, this paper presents an effective optimization method using Kriging surrogate model combing with semi-analytical spectral element method to maximize photonic band-gaps. Photonic crystals are assumed to be finite periodic structures composed of two dielectric materials with different permittivities. Kriging surrogate model is used to build an approximate function relationship between the photonic band-gaps and the design parameters of photonic crystals, replacing the expensive reanalysis for electromagnetic simulations of 3D periodic structure. The semi-analytical spectral element method is used to calculate the photonic band-gaps at different sampling points. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimization method can effectively obtain maximum photonic band-gaps.
