@article{oai:ynu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00010383, author = {Abe, Ryotaro and Takeda, Taichi and Shiratori, Ryo and Shirakawa, Shinichi and Saito, Shota and Baba, Toshihiko}, issue = {2}, journal = {Optics Letters}, month = {Jan}, note = {Using machine learning, we optimized an ultrasmall photonic crystal nanocavity to attain a high Q. Training data were collected via finite-difference time-domain simulation for models with randomly shifted holes, and a fully connected neural network (NN) was trained, resulting in a coefficient of determination between predicted and calculated values of 0.977. By repeating NN training and optimization of the Q value on the trained NN, the Q was roughly improved by a factor of 10–20 for various situations. Assuming a 180-nm-thick semiconductor slab at a wavelength approximately 1550 nm, we obtained Q = 1,011,400 in air; 283,200 in a solution, which was suitable for biosensing; and 44,600 with a nanoslot for high sensitivity. Important hole positions were also identified using the linear Lasso regression algorithm.}, pages = {319--322}, title = {Optimization of an H0 photonic crystal nanocavity using machine learning}, volume = {45}, year = {2020} }
