Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional structure design process is used to design spectral chip, then design process is simple, but spectral measurement recovery performance is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral measurement recovery performanceVSAvoidstructure design process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by constructing an application-specific spectral library and conducting principal component analysis before the actual spectral chip design. This preliminary spectral feature extraction and analysis enables the subsequent design process to target specific spectral characteristics, thereby improving measurement recovery performance while maintaining design efficiency through guided optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the spectral data into principal component space, where the spectral information is represented by a smaller set of independent parameters (principal components). This parameter transformation allows the design process to work with optimized spectral parameters rather than raw spectral data, improving both measurement performance and design efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If complexity of transmission spectra is used to estimate recovery performance, then evaluation process is simple, but quantitative evaluation capability is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes the traditional mechanical/qualitative evaluation method (complexity estimation) with a mathematical/quantitative approach (principal component analysis). By replacing the subjective complexity assessment with objective spectral feature extraction and quantitative analysis in the principal component space, the system achieves both accurate reconstruction and systematic evaluation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If micro-nano structure array is designed based on rough estimation, then design process is fast, but reconstruction accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing the design optimization on specific spectral features identified through principal component analysis. Instead of attempting to optimize for all spectral characteristics equally, the method identifies and targets the most significant spectral features (principal components) that contribute most to reconstruction accuracy, thereby achieving high accuracy without exhaustive optimization of all parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A spectral chip structure design method includes: obtaining an application-specific spectral library, and determining a spectral principal component based on the application-specific spectral library; performing non-negative processing on the spectral principal component to obtain a non-negative spectral principal component; and determining transmission spectra of the spectral chip structure based on the non-negative spectral principal component. By summarizing spectral features of the application-specific spectral library through the spectral principal component, a quantitative evaluation for the spectral library is realized and then by designing the spectral chip structure on this basis, a targeted quantitative design on the application-specific spectral library can be realized and the accuracy of reconstructing spectra by the spectral chip can be improve
