A method may include identifying, by a device, a set of components of an optical device. The method may include determining, by the device, a set of design criteria based on the set of components of the optical device. The method may include identifying, by the device, an initial heater configuration based on the set of design criteria. The method may include determining, by the device, a set of optimization parameters for determining a target heater configuration based on the set of design criteria. The method may include performing, by the device and based on the set of optimization parameters, an optimization procedure to alter the initial heater configuration to determine the target heater configuration. The method may include providing, by the device, information identifying the target heater configuration based on performing the optimization procedure.
