Abstract

We derive Euler-Lagrange equations for the topology optimization of decay rate in 3-d lossy optical cavities. This leads to a new class of time-harmonic differential or integro-differential equations, which can be written as nonlinear Maxwell systems 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 eigenfrequencies. Parallels with optimal control theory are discussed.
