    Inductively Scalable, Single-Step Neural Surrogates for Wave-Scattering Inverse Problems

    Charles Dove, Laura Waller

    physics.optics · cs.AI

    Neural network surrogates are an emerging alternative to traditional electromagnetic wave simulators like finite-difference time-domain (FDTD); their goal is to replace rigorous physical simulations with pre-trained neural networks that solve wave-scattering forward and inverse problems orders of magnitude faster. However, nonrecurrent, single-step surrogates have scaled only to a few tens of simulation variables. Here, we show that this...
