A deep learning-based wavelength controllable forward prediction and inverse design model of nanophotonic devices is proposed. Both the target time-domain and wavelength-domain information can be utilized simultaneously, which enables multiple functions, including power splitter and wavelength demultiplexer, to be implemented efficiently and flexibly.

In recent years, the development of nanophotonic devices has presented a revolutionary means to manipulate light at nanoscale. Recently, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have displayed powerful ability in the inverse design of nanophotonic devices. However, there is limited research on the inverse design for modeling and learning the sequence characteristics of a spectrum. In this work, we propose a novel deep learning method based on an improved recurrent neural networks to extract the sequence characteristics of a spectrum and achieve inverse design and spectrum prediction. A key feature of the network is that the memory or feedback loops it comprises allow it to effectively recognize time series data. In the context of nanorods hyperbolic metamaterials, we demonstrated the high consistency between the target spectrum and the predicted spectrum, and the network learned the deep physical relationship concerning the structural parameter changes reflected on the spectrum. Moreover, the proposed model is capable of predicting an unknown spectrum based on a known spectrum with only 0.32% mean relative error. We propose this method as an effective and accurate alternative to the application of ANNs in nanophotonics, paving way for fast and accurate design of desired devices.
The development of inverse design, where computational optimization techniques are used to design devices based on certain specifications, has led to the discovery of many compact, non-intuitive structures with superior performance. Among various methods, large-scale, gradient-based optimization techniques have been one of the most important ways to design a structure containing a vast number of degrees of freedom. These techniques are made possible by the adjoint method, in which the gradient of an objective function with respect to all design degrees of freedom can be computed using only two full-field simulations. However, this approach has so far mostly been applied to linear photonic devices. Here, we present an extension of this method to modeling nonlinear devices in the frequency domain, with the nonlinear response directly included in the gradient computation. As illustrations, we use the method to devise compact photonic switches in a Kerr nonlinear material, in which low-power and high-power pulses are routed in different directions. Our technique may lead to the development of novel compact nonlinear photonic devices.
We present a digitized adjoint method for realizing efficient inverse design of digital subwavelength nanophotonic devices. We design a single-mode 3-dB power divider and a dual-mode demultiplexer to demonstrate the digitized adjoint method for single-object and dual-object optimizations, respectively. The optimization comprises three stages, a first stage of continuous variation for an analog pattern, a second stage of forced permittivity biasing for a quasi-digital pattern, and a third stage for a multi-level digital pattern. Compared with conventional brute-force method, the proposed digitized adjoint method can improve the design efficiency by about 5 times, and the performance optimization can reach approximately the same level using the ternary pattern. The digitized adjoint method takes the advantages of adjoint sensitivity analysis and digital subwavelength structure and creates a new way for efficient and high-performance design of compact digital subwavelength nanophotonic devices. This method could overcome the efficiency bottleneck of the brute-force method that is restricted by the number of pixels of a digital pattern and improve the device performance by extending a conventional binary pattern to a multi-level one, which may be attractive for inverse design of large-scale digital nanophotonic devices.
Although the first lasers invented operated in the visible, the first on-chip devices were optimized for near-infrared (IR) performance driven by demand in telecommunications. However, as the applications of integrated photonics has broadened, the wavelength demand has as well, and we are now returning to the visible (Vis) and pushing into the ultraviolet (UV). This shift has required innovations in device design and in materials as well as leveraging nonlinear behavior to reach these wavelengths. This review discusses the key nonlinear phenomena that can be used as well as presents several emerging material systems and devices that have reached the UV-Vis wavelength range.
From ancient to modern times, acoustic structures have been used to control the propagation of acoustic waves. However, the design of the acoustic structures has remained widely a time-consuming and computational resource-consuming iterative process. In recent years, Deep Learning has attracted unprecedented attention for its ability to tackle hard problems with huge datasets, which has achieved state-of-the-art results in various tasks. In this work, an acoustic structure design method is proposed based on deep learning. Taking the design of multi-order Helmholtz resonator for instance, we experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our method is not only able to give a very accurate prediction of the geometry of the acoustic structures with multiple strong-coupling parameters, but also capable of improving the performance of evolutionary approaches in optimization for a desired property. Compared with the conventional numerical methods, our method is more efficient, universal and automatic, which has a wide range of potential applications, such as speech enhancement, sound absorption and insulation.
