Abstract

In this study, we used parallel plane mirror resonator analogy to design all-dielectric optical resonator that is performed with the objective-first inverse design algorithm. Confinement of the light is succeeded via predefined objective function to create symmetric mirror regions for the fundamental transverse-electric polarization mode. The algorithm creates bandgap in random structure to obtain resonance peak at the desired wavelength without any intuitive scanning of the parameter space. The first order mode is confined on the cavity region at pre-defined wavelength. The obtained structure is analysed by using the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The proposed structure has a compact configuration with a footprint of $13.394 \times 0.592 \mu m^2$.
