We derive Euler–Lagrange equations for the structural optimization of exponential decay rate of standing waves in 3-D leaky optical cavities. This leads to a new class of time-harmonic differential or integro-differential equations, which can be written as nonlinear Maxwell equations with switching functions of special types. Our approach is based on the notion of Pareto optimal frontier and on the multi-parameter perturbation theory for eigenvalues.

Formulation for scalable optimization of microcavities via the frequency-averaged local density of states.

We present a technique for large-scale optimization of optical microcavities based on the frequency-averaged local density of states (LDOS), which circumvents computational difficulties posed by

It is proved that optimal structures are piecewise constant functions taking only two extreme possible values $b_1$ and $b-2$ and this result explains an effect recently observed in numerical experiments.
