These features function as sub-wavelength optical scatterers, causing incident light to interact with metamaterials in a manner which is crucially dependent on their geometry. To design the next generation of functional materials, scientists and engineers must realize new methods which prudently explore the near-infinite number of possible metamaterial arrangements. We present a general methodology which harnesses machine learning to accelerate the process of metamaterial design and apply it specifically here, as a test case, to a silicon on insulator (SOI) reflective metasurface consisting of an array of nano-pillars. In particular, we implement artificial neural networks (ANNs) to solve the inverse design problem; i.e. we prescribe a desired reflection profile and utilize ANNs to advise what metasurface array of SOI nano-pillars gives the closest result. Utilizing a synthetic data set of devices simulated with rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA), we create an ANN-accelerated simulator, achieving a computational speedup of O(106) over the relatively quick RCWA simulation method. We then couple this simulator with an ANN-based predictor, which directly binds the SOI metasurfaces in question to a targeted optical performance. Together, this simulator/predictor ANNs combination provides a general framework in rapidly evaluating and designing potential optical metamaterial devices beyond what is currently possible via straightforward simulation and more standard optimization methods.","PeriodicalId":143675,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Research and Applications of Photonics in Defense Conference (RAPID)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114776713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to traditional circulating biomarkers such as protein, DNA and RNA, microRNAs (miRNAs) could also be used to accurately map the disease related biological changes at tissue, organ or cellular level. One of the roadblocks for using miRNA in diagnosis is the accurate detection of panel of miRNA biomarkers in clinical samples. Current detection methods are expensive, lacking sensitivity and specificity for clinical samples. In addition, to minimize the degradation, miRNA need to be detected within 30 min of sample collection and current detection methods will take hours to days. To address this critical issue, we have developed a new method where we used molecular-field interactions to concentrate target miRNA near micro-electrodes in the disposable device. We then used electrical impedance to quantify the target miRNAs. Our results show that proposed method could detect miRNAs that are in pico-molar levels.","PeriodicalId":143675,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Research and Applications of Photonics in Defense Conference (RAPID)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129716002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
