A deep neural network for general scattering matrix.

ABSTRACT: The scattering matrix is the mathematical representation of the scattering characteristics of any scatterer. Nevertheless, except for scatterers with high symmetry like spheres or cylinders, the scattering matrix does not have any analytical forms and thus can only be calculated numerically, which requires heavy computation. Here, we have developed a well-trained deep neural network (DNN) that can calculate the scattering matrix of scatterers without symmetry at a speed thousands of times faster than that of finite element solvers. Interestingly, the scattering matrix obtained from the DNN inherently satisfies the fundamental physical principles, including energy conservation, time reversal and reciprocity. Moreover, inverse design based on the DNN is made possible by applying the gradient
