Adjoint Topology Optimization Theory for Nano-Optics, a book written by CIOMP’s researcher Deng Yongbo, has been published by famed publisher of science journals and tomes, the Springer Publishing Company.

The book focuses on the topology optimization method for nano-optics. Both principles and implementing practice are addressed, with more weight placed on applications. This is achieved by providing an in-depth study on the major topic of topology optimization of dielectric and metal structures for nano-optics with extension to the surface structures for electromagnetics. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of practical issues in topology optimization for nano-optics is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn practical solutions in topology optimization. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of structural optimization, nano-optics, wave optics, electromagnetics, etc.

Yongbo Deng is a professor at Changchun Institute of Optics Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He received his Doctor Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Changchun Institute of Optics Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He won a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in 2018 and was elected as the member of Youth Innovation Promotion Association of Chinese Academy of Sciences in the same year. During 2016 and 2017, he received the Grant Fellowship of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany as a guest professor in the Institute of Microstructure Technology. His research mainly focused on nano-optics, microfluidics, and topology optimization related topics.
