    Numerical optimization of photonic devices is often limited by a large design space the finite-differences gradient method requires as many electric field computations as there are design parameters. Adjoint-based optimization can deliver the same gradients with only two electric field computations. Here, we derive the relevant adjoint formalism and illustrate its application for a waveguide slab, and for the design of optical sub-wavelength gratings.
