Multilayer optical film plays a significant role in broad fields of optical application. Due to the nonlinear relationship between the dispersion characteristics of optical materials and the actual performance parameters of optical thin films, it is challenging to optimize optical thin film structure with the traditional models. In this paper, we present an implementation of Deep Q-learning, which suited for the most part for optical thin film. As a set of concrete demonstrations, we optimize solar absorber. The optimal program could optimal this solar absorber in 500 epoch (about 200 steps per-epoch) without any human intervention. Search results perform better than researchers’ manual searches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
