用自然语言自动设计光子器件,无需人工干预。

VortexChat: An agentic framework for autonomous multi-objective integrated photonic design

  • 通过大模型与仿真工具闭环协作,从语言指令直接生成器件
  • 在Vortex100基准下全部达标,实测性能与仿真一致
  • 适合需要快速迭代的光子芯片研发团队

现代集成光子学的发展常受限于依赖人工仿真和专家直觉的设计流程。虽然逆向设计提供替代方案,但仍受制于专家监督和缺乏端到端自动化。为此,我们提出VortexChat,一个用于从自然语言规范自主、端到端逆向设计集成光子器件的智能体框架。VortexChat将大语言模型(LLM)决策代理与拓扑生成、基于梯度的优化及全波电磁仿真相结合,构建闭环架构,实现设计目标的迭代分解、计算工具的协同调度以及策略的反馈更新,仅需极少人为介入。在绝对指标约束下的Vortex100基准测试中,VortexChat自主生成的器件严格满足所有预设性能阈值,且无任何人工干预。实验上,我们成功制备了一个由VortexChat自主设计的宽带太赫兹完美涡旋束复用器,实测证实其具备高效率、高模态纯度和低通道串扰,与全波仿真结果高度一致。这些结果表明,大语言模型智能体可在保持物理保真度与可制造性的前提下,承担光子逆向设计中的关键决策任务,为复杂集成光子系统的自主设计提供了可扩展路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The advancement of modern integrated photonics is frequently bottlenecked by device design workflows that rely heavily on manual simulation and expert intuition. While inverse design offers an alternative, it remains constrained by expert supervision and a lack of end-to-end automation. To address these issues, we present VortexChat, an agentic framework for the autonomous, end-to-end inverse design of integrated photonic devices directly from natural language specifications. VortexChat couples a large language model (LLM) decision agent with topology generation, gradient-based refinement, and full-wave electromagnetic simulation. This closed-loop architecture enables the system to iteratively decompose design objectives, orchestrate computational tools, and update strategies based on feedback with minimal human intervention. Constrained by the absolute metrics of the Vortex100 Benchmark, VortexChat autonomously generates devices that strictly meet all predefined performance thresholds without any human-in-the-loop. As an experimental demonstration, we fabricated a broadband terahertz perfect vortex beam multiplexer, autonomously designed by VortexChat, with measurements confirming high-efficiency operation, high mode purity and low inter-channel crosstalk in agreement with full-wave simulations. These results demonstrate that an LLM agent can assume key aspects of expert decision-making in photonic inverse design while maintaining physical fidelity and fabrication feasibility, providing a scalable route towards autonomous design of complex integrated photonic systems.
