Abstract
En 中文
Topology opens many new horizons for photonics, from integrated optics to lasers. The complexity of large-scale devices asks for an effective solution of the inverse problem: how best to engineer the topology for a specific application? We introduce a machine-learning approach applicable in general to numerous topological problems. As a toy model, we train a neural network with the Aubry-Andre-Harper band structure model and then adopt the network for solving the inverse problem. Our application is able to identify the parameters of a complex topological insulator in order to obtain protected edge states at target frequencies. One challenging aspect is handling the multivalued branches of the direct problem and discarding unphysical solutions. We overcome this problem by adopting a self-consistent method to only select physically relevant solutions. We demonstrate our technique in a realistic design and by resorting to the widely available open-source TensorFlow library.
