DIOGENeS

DIscOntinuous GalErkin Nanoscale Solvers
Project homepage

We develop the DIOGENeS software suite, which is dedicated to computational nanophotonics. DIOGENeS is a comprehensive set of numerical tools for geometrical modelling, characterization and inverse design of nanoscale devices. For the numerical characterization of nanoscale light-matter interactions, we rely on high order finite element type full-wave solvers based on the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. A choice can be made between time-domain (DGTD) and frequency-domain (HDGFD) solvers depending on the problem at hand. Various types of sources, material laws and observables are available. An object-oriented programming architecture is adopted and a parallel implementation allows to consider large problems on dedicated cluster-like architectures. For inverse design studies, we exploit statistical learning global optimization strategies.
