Hybrid Random Forest and MLP Surrogate Modeling for a Fully Tunable Acousto-optic Filter Based on Photonic Crystal Heterojunction

Ruoyu Zhang, Weiming Lin

Abstract


A dynamically tunable acousto-optic filter based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal heterojunction with an air defect is proposed, with its design accelerated by machine learning surrogate modeling. Using the transfer matrix method and acousto-optic theory, a theoretical model is established. To reduce computational cost, a surrogate framework is developed using a COMSOL-generated dataset of 400
samples. Two models, Random Forest and MLP, are trained and compared; Random Forest offers competitive accuracy and feature importance, while MLP enables rapid parameter sweeps. Results demonstrate a tuning range of 1478–1556 nm for center wavelength and 4.5–8 nm
for bandwidth. Under ±10 nm geometric tolerance, wavelength and bandwidth variations remain within 0.4 nm and 0.5 nm respectively. This
machine-learning-assisted approach preserves the device's tunability, integration, and fault tolerance while significantly accelerating performance prediction and parameter exploration, offering a practical route for data-driven design in tunable photonic devices.
