arXiv:2608. 09382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electromagnetic inverse scattering is a nonlinear and ill-posed problem, where accurate reconstruction is challenging due to measurement limitations, noise, and high computational costs, especially for 3-D imaging.

The paper introduces Structured Multi-Level-Set Inversion (SMLSI), a physics‑driven neural network approach for 3‑D electromagnetic inverse scattering that represents contrast using object support and material distribution rather than direct parameterization. SMLSI employs multiple level‑sets mapped to soft‑support functions, a soft‑union operation, and trainable complex permittivities, with structure‑aware regularization to enforce binary support and coherent material regions. Numerical and experimental results show that SMLSI outperforms conventional methods like CSI and $L_{2/3}$‑FBE‑WCIE in reconstructing irregular geometries, closely spaced objects, and multiple material regions from scattered field data.

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples that highlight surrogate errors and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately simulates two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and generalizes to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate is applied to forward simulations and inverse design of freeform beam splitters and gradient‑index lenses, achieving speedups up to 26.5× compared to traditional FDTD methods.

The paper presents a method for training single‑step neural surrogates that can handle wave‑scattering inverse problems with tens of thousands of controllable variables. By dynamically generating training examples through gradient ascent and using a replay dataset with normalization, the authors achieve a surrogate that accurately models two‑dimensional wave scattering for up to 41,772 variables and can generalize to over 3 million variables without retraining. The surrogate demonstrates comparable or better performance than traditional FDTD simulations for large‑scale forward simulations and inverse design of photonic devices, achieving speedups up to 26.5×.
