Abstract
In this paper, we studied the repeatability and accuracy of the ray simulation for one kind of Asymmetric Resonant Cavities (ARCs) Half-Quadrupole-Half-Circle shaped cavity, and confirmed the robustness of the directionality about the shape errors. Based on these, we proposed a hill-climbing algorithm to optimize the ARCs for unidirectional emission. Different evaluation functions of directionality were tested and we suggested using the function of energy contained in a certain angle for highly collimated and unidirect ional emission. By this method, we optimized the ARCs to obtain about 0.46 of the total radiated energy in divergence angle of 40 degree in the far field. This optimization method is very powerful for the shape engineering of ARCs and could be applied in future studies of ARCs with specific emission properties.
