Description
Summary:In this study, an artificial neural network that can predict the band structure of 2-D photonic crystals is developed. Three kinds of photonic crystals in a square lattice, triangular lattice, and honeycomb lattice and two kinds of materials with different refractive indices are investigated. Using the length of the wave vectors in the reduced Brillouin zone, band number, r/a ratio, and the refractive indices as the dataset, the desired ANN is trained to predict the eigenfrequencies of the photonic modes and depict the photonic band structures with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99. By increasing the number of neurons in the hidden layer, the correlation coefficient can be further increased over 0.999.
