Level set methods in inverse design of light-matter interactions — •Jonas Matuszak, Robert Bennett, and Stefan Yoshi Buhmann — University of Freiburg, Germany

Inverse design approaches are used to find the optimal structures for photonic elements based on their desired functional characteristics. Often the efficiency of geometries discovered by those algorithms goes far beyond those found by a design approach by hand. The level-set technique is an inverse design algorithm which consists of gradually changing the shape of a initial object by moving its boundaries. In this talk I will outline how this method can be used to optimise medium-assisted resonance energy transfer (RET).
