AbstractNanophotonic devices with high densities are extremely attractive because they can potentially merge photonics and electronics at the nanoscale. However, traditional integrated photonic circuits are designed primarily by manually selecting parameters or employing semi-analytical models. Limited by the small parameter search space, the designed nanophotonic devices generally have a single function, and the footprints reach hundreds of microns. Recently, novel ultra-compact nanophotonic devices with digital structures were proposed. By applying inverse design algorithms, which can search the full parameter space, the proposed devices show extremely compact footprints of a few microns. The results from many groups imply that digital nanophotonics can achieve not only ultra-compact single-function devices but also miniaturized multi-function devices and complex functions such as artificial intelligence operations at the nanoscale. Furthermore, to balance the performance and fabrication tolerances of such devices, researchers have developed various solutions, such as adding regularization constraints to digital structures. We believe that with the rapid development of inverse design algorithms and continuous improvements to the nanofabrication process, digital nanophotonics will play a key role in promoting the performance of nanophotonic integration. In this review, we uncover the exciting developments and challenges in this field, analyse and explore potential solutions to these challenges and provide comments on future directions in this field.

A three-dimensional (3D) CFD-based design method for high-speed axial compressor blades is being developed based on the discrete adjoint method. An adjoint code is built corresponding to RVC3D, a 3D turbomachinery Navier-Stokes analysis code developed at NASA Glenn. A validation study with the Euler equations indicates that the adjoint sensitivities are sensitive to the choice of boundary conditions for the adjoint variables in internal flow problems and constraints may be needed on internal boundaries to capture proper physics of the adjoint system. The design method is demonstrated with inverse design based on Euler physics, and the results indicate that the adjoint design method produces efficient 3D designs by drastically reducing the computational cost.
