We customized an existing simulator which uses the beam propagation method to analyze optoelectronic devices, in order to test the wavelength filtering characteristics of a number of photoreceiver designs. We tested the simulator against traditional analytical techniques and verified its accuracy for small step sizes. Finally, we applied a simulated annealing algorithm to the BPM simulator in order to produce photoreceiver designs with improved wavelength filtering characteristics.
