Abstract

The genetic algorithm (GA) is regarded as one of the best ways for determining a global solution. Because it does not require calculating the design sensitivity differently from the ordinary gradient-based method, it is appropriate for the design problem in the ultra-high frequency range; the ordinary gradient-based method has difficulty in calculating the sensitivity in this range. This paper deals with nano-aperture grating topology optimization based on the GA and the ON/OFF method. The objective of this study is to maximize the transmittance in the measuring area. The simulation and optimization processes are carried out by using the commercial package COMSOL associated with Matlab programming. The final optimal design gives around 21% performance improvement, compared with the initial model.

유전 알고리즘은 전역 최적해(global optimum)를 찾는 좋은 방법 중에 하나로 변화율(gradient)을 기반으로 하는 방법들과 달리 민감도 해석이 요구되지 않으므로 민감도 해석이 어려운 초고주파 영역에서의 설계 문제에 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 나노개구 격자의 위상화적화를 유전 알고리즘과 ON/OFF 방법에 기반하여 수행하였다. 연구의 목적을 나노개구 격자의 측정영역에서 투과효율을 최대화 하는 것으로 하고, 모든 해석 및 최적화 과정은 COMSOL 프로그램과 Matlab 프로그램의 연동에 의하여 수행되었다. 최종 제시된 설계는 기본 모델 대비 약 21%의 성능 향상을 나타내었다.
