    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit comprises an optical deinterleaver, including an input region, a dispersive region, and at least two output regions. The input region is adapted to receive an input optical signal including a plurality of channels. The dispersive region is optically coupled to the input region to receive the input optical signal. The dispersive region includes an inhomogeneous arrangement of a first material and a second material to structure the dispersive region to separate the input optical signal into a plurality of multi-channel optical signals, including a first multi-channel optical signal and a second multi-channel optical signal. The at least two output regions, include a first out region and a second output region optically coupled to the dispersive region. The first output region is positioned to receive the first multi-channel optical signal and the second output region is positioned to receive the second multi-channel optical signal.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques for creating a design for a physical device are provided. A computing system receives an initial design of the physical device. Performance of the physical device is simulated using the initial design. A performance loss value is determined for the physical device based on the simulated performance at a target wavelength and one or more delta wavelengths. The performance loss value is backpropagated to determine a gradient corresponding to an influence of changes in the initial design on the total performance loss value. The initial design of the physical device is revised based at least in part on the gradient.
