设计光子集成电路需精确的电磁场仿真,但即使对简单几何结构也计算成本高昂。本文提出PIC-Flow,一种生成式神经代理模型,可基于器件几何和工作波长预测电磁场分布,替代昂贵的有限差分时域(FDTD)仿真。方法融合三大核心:(i) 条件流匹配作为生成框架,学习将高斯噪声映射到物理有效场解的速率场;(ii) 在实部与虚部分通道上操作的实值U-Net;(iii) 通过亥姆霍兹残差损失(∇²Ez + k₀²εEz = 0)实现物理约束训练。引入界面感知掩码策略,排除介电边界处因有限差分误差主导的像素,得到有意义的物理一致性度量。数据集包含22,500组真实FDTD仿真,均匀分布在多模干涉器、Y型分支和定向耦合器中,按80/10/10比例划分训练、验证与测试集。在保留测试设备上进行消融实验,并证明模型可泛化至未见器件类型,如S弯、锥形波导及级联Y分支。该工作非FDTD的直接替代品,但为未来宽带、器件无关的场预测奠定了基础,有望大幅提升复杂光子器件与电路的设计空间探索效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Designing photonic integrated circuits requires accurate electromagnetic field simulations, which remain computationally expensive even for simple device geometries. We present PIC-Flow, a generative neural surrogate that predicts electromagnetic field distributions for photonic devices given their geometry and operating wavelength as an alternative to costly finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Our approach combines three key ideas: (i) conditional flow matching as the generative framework, learning a velocity field that transports Gaussian noise to physically valid field solutions; (ii) a real-valued U-Net operating on split real and imaginary field channels; and (iii) physics-constrained training through a Helmholtz residual loss enforcing $\nabla^2 E_z + k_0^2 \varepsilon E_z = 0$. We introduce an interface-aware masking scheme for the Helmholtz residual that excludes dielectric boundary pixels where finite-difference stencil errors dominate, yielding a physically meaningful compliance metric. The data set consists of 22,500 ground-truth FDTD simulations split evenly between multimode interferometers, Y-branches, and directional couplers at $λ=1.55\,μ$m in an 80/10/10 split between training, validation, and test sets. We evaluate ablations on the network against the held out test devices and also show that the model generalizes to held out device classes such as S-bends, tapers, and cascaded Y-branches. Rather than a drop-in replacement for FDTD, this work establishes a foundation that, with broader data coverage, more compute, and further training optimization, could scale toward broadband, device-agnostic field prediction with dramatically improved runtime for rapid design-space exploration of complex photonic devices and circuits.
