Abstract
This thesis covers a number of results in heuristics for approximately solving photonic design problems and bounds for the optimal value of such problems. Chapter 2 begins the thesis with an overview of the literature and a very general introduction to the photonic design problem, along with simplified summaries of the usual techniques used in both approximately solving physical design problems and in computing bounds for the optimal value of these optimization problems. Chapter 3 shows a heuristic which can be used to find approximate solutions to the photonic design problem and discusses some interesting observations based on the ideas introduced. In chapter 4, we cover a particular technique for bounding the optimal value of photonic design problems, along with several generalizations. Finally, chapter 5 shows a generalization of a number of bounds available in the literature to include objectives that often show up in efficiency metrics.
