Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional material design methods are used to achieve error robustness in wave-based devices, then signal propagation stability is improved, but modulation efficiency deteriorates due to the trade-off relationship between error robustness and modulation sensitivity
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the material parameters by designing metamaterials with specific geometric structures (meta-atoms) that can independently control error robustness and modulation sensitivity. By adjusting the shape, size, and arrangement of these meta-atoms, the material properties can be tuned to achieve both high error robustness and high modulation efficiency simultaneously, breaking the traditional trade-off relationship.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite metamaterial structures combining different types of meta-atoms arranged in specific patterns. These composite structures enable the material to exhibit both error-robust wave propagation characteristics and high modulation sensitivity, as different meta-atom configurations can be optimized for different functions within the same material system.
2Extent of automation
If deep learning-based inverse design is used to design materials with targeted wave properties, then design automation and performance optimization are improved, but computational complexity and training data requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention performs preliminary action by pre-training the decoder network to map material structures to wave properties before the actual inverse design process. This pre-training phase prepares the system to efficiently perform inverse design by establishing the forward mapping relationships, reducing the computational burden during the actual material design phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The autoencoder architecture serves as an intermediary between the material structure space and wave property space. The encoder transforms wave properties into latent representations, and the decoder reconstructs material structures from these representations. This intermediary latent space enables efficient inverse design by avoiding direct optimization in the high-dimensional material parameter space.
