BEAMZ Examples

Topology Optimized 90° Bend

We use topology optimization to design a compact, efficient 90° photonic waveguide bend from first principles using BEAMZ. The optimizer maximizes bidirectional transmission through the bend by iterat

Waveguide Crossing with Cosine Tapers

This notebook models a compact silicon waveguide crossing with cosine tapers using BEAMZ instead of [Tidy3D as shown in this reference notebook](https://www.flexcompute.com/tidy3d/examples/notebooks/W

Mode Sources and Monitors

We launch one guided waveguide mode, verify the launched power in a straight reference waveguide, and then reuse the same source/monitor setup for a simple width-step junction. The important quantitie
