Design of two-dimensional multilevel optical anisotropic diffraction gratings with a generative adversarial network.

ABSTRACT

This study uses a generative adversarial network to design multilevel optical anisotropic diffraction gratings with specific customizable characteristics. As input, this method uses the far electric field of polarization and intensity in each diffracted light through the gratings to design. Using the finite-difference time-domain method, the designed structures are numerically evaluated, confirming that they can be created with the intended parameters. Multilevel optical anisotropic diffraction gratings created this way can be used in various fields to develop improved optical elements.
