Nanometer-scale photon confinement in topology-optimized dielectric cavities

Here, the authors integrate measured fabrication constraints in topology optimization to design a highly optimized dielectric nanocavity. The theoretically predicted confinement of light below the diffraction limit is confirmed by near- and far-field spectroscopy.
