Sail to Alaska with IEEE-USA! IEEE-USA's cruising saga continues in 2024 to the magnificent, wild Alaskan frontier. Building off of the success of IEEE-USA’s 50th Anniversary Cruise, IEEE-USA will be hosting a 7-night Alaska Cruise 9-16 September 2024. We’ll be cruising in style aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas from Seattle to stops in Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria, BC, before concluding our cruise back in Seattle. Please remember that to participate in the IEEE-USA Alaska Cruise activities, you must book through the (https://cruise.ieeeusa.org).

This talk will provide an overview of deep learning applications in nanophotonic device design, focusing on generative neural networks. To achieve inverse design in nanophotonics, optimization of tens of thousands of 'pixels' is typically required. The adjoint method, a popular local optimization approach, often necessitates multiple optimization runs. Generative deep learning builds on existing data to generate new designs with specified target specifications such as transmission/reflection spectra. For instance, datasets optimized for discrete wavelengths (e.g., wavelength splitters) or splitting ratios (e.g., power splitters) can be used to generate devices with arbitrary wavelength or splitting ratios. We demonstrate examples using conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE) and denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPM) for applications in planar waveguide devices, metasurface gratings, and plasmonic gratings. Additionally, we introduce the concept of latent space optimization and transfer learning.
