Tensor completion algorithm-aided structural color design

In recent years, structural color has developed rapidly due to its distinct advantages, such as low loss, high spatial resolution and environmental friendliness. Various inverse design methods have been extensively investigated to efficiently design optical structures. However, the optimization method for the inverse design of structural color remains a formidable challenge. Traditional optimization approaches, such as genetic algorithms require time-consuming repetitions of structural simulations. Deep learning-assisted design necessitates prior simulations and large amounts of data, making it less efficient for systems with a small number of features. This study proposes a tensor completion algorithm capable of swiftly and accurately predicting missing datasets based on partially obtained datasets to assist in structural color design. Transforming the complex physical problem of structural color design into a spatial structure relationship problem linking geometric parameters and spectral data. The method utilizes tensor multilinear data analysis to effectively capture the complex relationships associated with geometric parameters and spectral data in higher-order data. Numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm exhibits high reliability in terms of speed and accuracy for diverse structures, datasets of varying sizes, and different materials, significantly enhancing design efficiency. The proposed algorithm offers a viable solution for inverse design problems involving complex physical systems, thereby introducing a novel approach to the design of photonic devices. Additionally, numerical experiments illustrate that the structural color of cruciform resonators with diamond can overcome the high loss issues observed in traditional dielectric materials within the blue wavelength region and enhance the corrosion resistance of the structure. We achieve a wide color gamut and a high-narrow reflection spectrum nearing 1 by this structure, and the theoretical analysis further verifies that diamond holds great promise in the realm of optics.
