• Authors: Alexander Luce, Ali Mahdavi, Florian Marquardt, Heribert Wankerl
• Abstract summary: An advanced thin-film structure can consist of multiple materials with different thicknesses and numerous layers. Design and optimization of complex thin-film structures with multiple variables is a computationally heavy problem that is still under active research. We propose the Python package TMM-Fast which enables parallelized computation of reflection and transmission of light at different angles of incidence and wavelengths through the multilayer thin-film.

• Abstract: Achieving the desired optical response from a multilayer thin-film structure over a broad range of wavelengths and angles of incidence can be challenging. An advanced thin-film structure can consist of multiple materials with different thicknesses and numerous layers. Design and optimization of complex thin-film structures with multiple variables is a computationally heavy problem that is still under active research. To enable fast and easy experimentation with new optimization techniques, we propose the Python package TMM-Fast which enables parallelized computation of reflection and transmission of light at different angles of incidence and wavelengths through the multilayer thin-film. By decreasing computational time, generating datasets for machine learning becomes feasible and evolutionary optimization can be used effectively. Additionally, the sub-package TMM-Torch allows to directly compute analytical gradients for local optimization by using PyTorch Autograd functionality. Finally, an OpenAi Gym environment is presented which allows the user to train reinforcement learning agents on the problem of finding multilayer thin-film configurations.

  We introduce a neighbor correspondence matching (NCM) algorithm for flow-based frame synthesis. NCM is performed in a current-frame-agnostic fashion to establish multi-scale correspondences in the spatial-temporal neighborhoods of each pixel. coarse-scale module is designed to leverage neighbor correspondences to capture large motion, while the fine-scale module is more efficient to speed up the estimation process.

  A multi-layer optical system with designated optical characteristics is designed by several discrete and continuous parameters. Most methods merely determine the optimal thicknesses of the system's layers. We propose a method that considers the stacking of consecutive layers as parameterized actions in a Markov decision process.
