Over the past decade, artificially engineered optical materials and nanostructured thin films have revolutionized the area of photonics by employing novel concepts of metamaterials and metasurfaces where spatially varying structures yield tailorable, by design effective electromagnetic properties. The current state-of-the-art approach to designing and optimizing such structures relies heavily on simplistic, intuitive shapes for their unit cells or meta-atoms. Such approach can not provide the global solution to a complex optimization problem where both meta-atoms shape, in-plane geometry, out-of-plane architecture, and constituent materials have to be properly chosen to yield the maximum performance. In this work, we present a novel machine-learning-assisted global optimization framework for photonic meta-devices design. We demonstrate that using an adversarial autoencoder coupled with a metaheuristic optimization framework significantly enhances the optimization search efficiency of the meta-devices configurations with complex topologies. We showcase the concept of physics-driven compressed design space engineering that introduces advanced regularization into the compressed space of adversarial autoencoder based on the optical responses of the devices. Beyond the significant advancement of the global optimization schemes, our approach can assist in gaining comprehensive design intuition by revealing the underlying physics of the optical performance of meta-devices with complex topologies and material compositions.
