Trace formulation for photonic inverse design with incoherent sources

Abstract Spatially incoherent light sources, such as spontaneously emitting atoms, naively require Maxwell’s equations to be solved many times to obtain the total emission, which becomes computationally intractable in conjunction with large-scale optimization (inverse design). We pres...
