Abstract
Two examples from integrated optics are described that motivate the use of explicit variational characterizations for physical parameters that are relevant for the functioning of optical devices. For 1D optical gratings the boundary of the bandgaps, and for 2D square micro-resonators the resonant frequency, are fromulated as eigenvalues of the governing Helmholtz equation. This requires to define the set on which the corresponding functional is optimised in an appropriate way, depending on the application
