Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, a deep learning‐based algorithm is presented, as a purely mathematical platform, for providing intuitive understanding of the properties of electromagnetic (EM) wave–matter interaction in nanostructures. This approach is based on using the dimensionality reduction (DR) technique to significantly reduce the dimensionality of a generic EM wave‐matter interaction problem without imposing significant error. Such an approach implicitly provides useful information about the role of different features (such as geometrical design parameters) of the nanostructure in its response functionality. To demonstrate the practical capabilities of this DL‐based technique, it is applied to a reconfigurable optical metadevice enabling dual‐band and triple‐band optical absorption in the telecommunication window. Combination of the proposed approach with existing commercialized full‐wave simulation tools offers a powerful toolkit to extract basic mechanisms of wave–matter interaction in complex EM devices and facilitate the design and optimization of nanostructures for a large range of applications including imaging, spectroscopy, and signal processing. It is worth mentioning that the demonstrated approach is general and can be used in a large range of problems as long as enough training data are provided. Abstract : Complex nature of nanostructures prohibits the study of their electromagnetic behavior by using simple modeling approaches. Instead, here, a neural network‐based platform is presented to provide an intuitive understanding of the fundamental physics of light–matter interaction in the nanoscale regime.
