Abstract

Abstract The synergistic development of nanophotonics and machine learning has inspired tremendous innovations in both fields in the past decade. In diverse photonics research, deep-learning methods using artificial neural networks become the key game changer that greatly facilitates rapid nanophotonics design and the versatile processing of optical information. Moreover, optical computing platforms that perform calculations through light propagation are receiving tremendous interest as next-generation machine-learning hardware with advantages in computing speed, energy efficiency, and parallelism. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art nanophotonic devices enabled by machine learning and analyzes…
