Research article in edited proceedings (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
We present a novel method to perform universal black-box optimization of pixel-discrete nanophotonic devices based on reinforcement learning. We demonstrate the capabilities of our method for a silicon-on-insulator waveguide-mode converter with > 95\% conversion efficiency.
