The classical adjoint-based topology optimization (TO) method, based on the use of a random continuous dielectric function as an adjoint variable distribution, is known to be one of the most efficient optimization methods that enable the design of optical devices with outstanding performances. However, the strategy for selecting the optimal solution requires a very fine pixelation of the permittivity function of the profile under optimization. Typically, at least 28 pixels are needed while optimizing a one wavelength wide 1D metagrating. This makes it very difficult to extend TO methods to large-scale optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce a new concept of adjoint-based topology optimization that enables fast and efficient geometry based design of both periodic and aperiodic metasurfaces. The structures are built from nano-rods whose widths and positions are to be adjusted. Our new approach requires a very low number of design parameters, thus leading to a drastic reduction in the computational time: about an order of magnitude. Hence, this concept makes it possible to address the optimization of large-scale structures in record time. As a proof-of-concept we apply this method to the design of (i) a periodic metagrating, optimized to have a specific response into a particular direction, and (ii) a dielectric metalens (aperiodic metasurface), enabling a high energy focusing into a well-defined focal spot.
