This work aims to investigate and optimize two-dimensional waveguides with 90° bend and crossing 2x2 compounds of silicon and silica. The following custom metaheuristics are analyzed: Memetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm, Gray Wolf and the hybrid (Greedy, Random and Adaptive Search Procedure together with Simulated Annealing) (a) modeling occurs by the Element Method Finite – 2D, in which the optimization objectives are to reduce power losses and diversify the possibilities of device configurations, in order to maximize power transmission efficiency. (b) The geometric parameters of the structures are optimized, considering particular characteristics of the restrictions of the structures and the algorithms used, so the results were studied, for the understand the interaction between the geometry of structures and their associated performances. Transmission efficiency values above 98% were achieved.
