Here, we apply topology optimization in a small design region to realize the improvement of the coupling. Also, we simplify an optimized structure of the coupling region for easier fabrication and try to find core features of the optimized structure.}, pages = {3009--3012}, title = {Topology optimization of coupling between slab and photonic crystal waveguide}, volume = {50}, year = {2008} }
