文摘We proposed and demonstrated the ultra-compact 1310/1550 nm wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer assisted by subwavelength grating(SWG)using particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm in silicon-on-insulator(SOI)platform.Through the self-imaging effect of multimode interference(MMI)coupler,the demultiplexing function for 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths is implemented.After that,three parallel SWG-based slots are inserted into the MMI section so that the effective refractive index of the modes can be engineered and thus the beat length can be adjusted.Importantly,these three SWG slots significantly reduce the length of the device,which is much shorter than the length of traditional MMI-based wavelength demultiplexers.Ultimately,by using the PSO algorithm,the equivalent refractive index and width of the SWG in a certain range are optimized to achieve the best performance of the wavelength demultiplexer.It has been verified that the device footprint is only 2×30.68μm^(2),and 1 dB bandwidths of larger than 120 nm are acquired at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.Meanwhile,the transmitted spectrum shows that the insertion loss(IL)values are below 0.47 dB at both wavelengths when the extinction ratio(ER)values are above 12.65 dB.This inverse design approach has been proved to be efficient in increasing bandwidth and reducing device length.

文摘Terahertz(THz)metamaterials,with their exceptional ability to precisely manipulate the phase,amplitude,polarization and orbital angular momentum(OAM)of electromagnetic waves,have demonstrated significant application potential across a wide range of fields.However,traditional design methodologies often rely on extensive parameter sweeps,making it challenging to address the increasingly complex and diverse application requirements.Recently,the integration of artificial intelligence(AI)techniques,particularly deep learning and optimization algorithms,has introduced new approaches for the design of THz metamaterials.This paper reviews the fundamental principles of THz metamaterials and their intelligent design methodologies,with a particular focus on the advancements in AI-driven inverse design of THz metamaterials.The AI-driven inverse design process allows for the creation of THz metamaterials with desired properties by working backward from the unit structures and array configurations of THz metamaterials,thereby accelerating the design process and reducing both computational resources and time.It examines the critical role of AI in improving both the functionality and design efficiency of THz metamaterials.Finally,we outline future research directions and technological challenges,with the goal of providing valuable insights and guidance for ongoing and future investigations.

文摘Liquid crystal elastomers(LCEs)are advanced materials characterized by their rubber-like hyperelasticity and liquid crystal phase transitions,offering exceptional mechanical properties.The development of smart mechanical metamaterials(SMMs)from LCEs expands the potential for controlling mechanical responses and achieving nonlinear behaviors not possible with traditional metamaterials.However,the challenge lies in managing the interplay between nonlinear material responses and structural complexity,making the inverse design of LCE-based SMMs exceptionally demanding.In this paper,we introduce a design framework for LCE smart mechanical metamaterials that leverages neural networks and evolution strategies(ES)to optimize designs with nonlinear mechanical responses.Our approach involves constructing a flexible,unit-cell-based metamaterial model that integrates the soft elastic behavior and thermo-mechanical coupling of LCEs.The combination of microscopic liquid crystal molecule rotation and macroscopic block rotation enables highly tunable and nonlinear mechanical behaviors,of which the precise inverse design of stress-stretch responses is obtained via neural networks combined with ES.In addition,stimuli responses in the liquid crystal elastomers enable real-time adaptability and achieve tailored stress plateaus that are not possible with traditional metamaterials.Our findings provide new pathways in the design and optimization of advanced materials in flexible electronic devices,intelligent actuators,and systems for energy absorption and dissipation.

文摘Chiral metamaterials are manmade structures with extraordinary mechanical properties derived from their special geometric design instead of chemical composition.To make the mechanical deformation programmable,the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS)curves are taken to replace the traditional ligament boundaries of the chiral structure.The Neural networks are innovatively inserted into the calculation of mechanical properties of the chiral structure instead of finite element methods to improve computational efficiency.For the problem of finding structure configuration with specified mechanical properties,such as Young’s modulus,Poisson’s ratio or deformation,an inverse design method using the Neural network-based proxy model is proposed to build the relationship between mechanical properties and geometric configuration.To satisfy some more complex deformation requirements,a non-homogeneous inverse design method is proposed and verified through simulation and experiments.Numerical and test results reveal the high computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method in the design of chiral metamaterials.

文摘To capture the nonlinear dynamics and gain evolution in chirped pulse amplification(CPA)systems,the split-step Fourier method and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method are integrated to iteratively address the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the rate equations.However,this approach is burdened by substantial computational demands,resulting in significant time expenditures.In the context of intelligent laser optimization and inverse design,the necessity for numerous simulations further exacerbates this issue,highlighting the need for fast and accurate simulation methodologies.Here,we introduce an end-to-end model augmented with active learning(E2E-AL)with decent generalization through different dedicated embedding methods over various parameters.On an identical computational platform,the artificial intelligence–driven model is 2000 times faster than the conventional simulation method.Benefiting from the active learning strategy,the E2E-AL model achieves decent precision with only two-thirds of the training samples compared with the case without such a strategy.Furthermore,we demonstrate a multi-objective inverse design of the CPA systems enabled by the E2E-AL model.The E2E-AL framework manifests the potential of becoming a standard approach for the rapid and accurate modeling of ultrafast lasers and is readily extended to simulate other complex systems.

文摘Polymer flooding is a widely used technique in enhanced oil recovery (EOR),but its effectiveness is often hindered by the poor viscosity retention of conventional polymers like hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) under high-salinity conditions.Although recent advances in molecular engineering have concentrated on modifying polymer architecture and functional groups to address this issue,the complex interplay among polymer topology,charge distribution and hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance renders rational molecular design challenging.In this work,we present an AI-driven inverse design framework that directly maps target viscosity performance back to optimal molecular structures.Guided by practical molecular design strategies,the topological features (grafting density,side-chain length) and functional group-related features(copolymerization ratio,hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance) are encoded into a multidimensional design space.By integrating dissipative particle dynamics simulations with particle swarm algorithm,the framework efficiently explores the design space and identifies non-intuitive,high-performing polymer structure.The optimized polymer achieves a 12%enhancement in viscosity,attributed to the synergistic effect of electrostatic chain extension and hydrophobic aggregation.This study demonstrates the promise of AI-guided inverse design for developing next-generation EOR polymers and provides a generalizable approach for the discovery of functional soft materials.

文摘Inverse design has long been an efficient and powerful design tool in the aircraft industry.In this paper,a novel inverse design method for supercritical airfoils is proposed based on generative models in deep learning.A Conditional Variational Auto Encoder(CVAE)and an integrated generative network CVAE-GAN that combines the CVAE with the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks(WGAN),are conducted as generative models.They are used to generate target wall Mach distributions for the inverse design that matches specified features,such as locations of suction peak,shock and aft loading.Qualitative and quantitative results show that both adopted generative models can generate diverse and realistic wall Mach number distributions satisfying the given features.The CVAE-GAN model outperforms the CVAE model and achieves better reconstruction accuracies for all the samples in the dataset.Furthermore,a deep neural network for nonlinear mapping is adopted to obtain the airfoil shape corresponding to the target wall Mach number distribution.The performances of the designed deep neural network are fully demonstrated and a smoothness measurement is proposed to quantify small oscillations in the airfoil surface,proving the authenticity and accuracy of the generated airfoil shapes.

文摘The basic indexes of all-optical integrated photonic circuits include high-density integration,ultrafast response and ultralow energy consumption.Traditional methods mainly adopt conventional micro/nano-structures.The overall size of the circuit is large,usually reaches hundreds of microns.Besides,it is difficult to balance the ultrafast response and ultra-low energy consumption problem,and the crosstalk between two traditional devices is difficult to overcome.Here,we propose and experimentally demonstrate an approach based on inverse design method to realize a high-density,ultrafast and ultra-low energy consumption integrated photonic circuit with two all-optical switches controlling the input states of an all-optical XOR logic gate.The feature size of the whole circuit is only 2.5μm×7μm,and that of a single device is 2μm×2μm.The distance between two adjacent devices is as small as 1.5μm,within wavelength magnitude scale.Theoretical response time of the circuit is 150 fs,and the threshold energy is within 10 fJ/bit.We have also considered the crosstalk problem.The circuit also realizes a function of identifying two-digit logic signal results.Our work provides a new idea for the design of ultrafast,ultra-low energy consumption all-optical devices and the implementation of high-density photonic integrated circuits.
