- Abstract
Finding an optimal device structure in the vast combinatorial design space of freeform nanophotonic design has been an enormous challenge. In this study, we propose physics-informed reinforcement learning (PIRL) that combines the adjoint-based method with reinforcement learning to improve the sample efficiency by an order of magnitude compared to conventional reinforcement learning and overcome the issue of local minima. To illustrate these advantages of PIRL over other conventional optimization algorithms, we design a family of one-dimensional metasurface beam deflectors using PIRL, exceeding most reported records. We also explore the transfer learning capability of PIRL that further improves sample efficiency and demonstrate how the minimum feature size of the design can be enforced in PIRL through reward engineering. With its high sample efficiency, robustness, and ability to seamlessly incorporate practical device design constraints, our method offers a promising approach to highly combinatorial freeform device optimization in various physical domains.
