Abstract
In recent years, with the development of photonic crystals, metamaterials, metasurfaces, and other related disciplines, the relationship between the structures and functionalities of artificial optical/electromagnetic materials and devices has become a research hotspot. This article reviews the optical/electromagnetic properties and performance of typical artificial micro/nanostructures. Based on the analogy of mechanics and optics/electromagnetism, the concept of “Electromagnetic Architectures” is proposed. In particular, we reviewed several typical methods for the study of optical/electromagnetic structural‐functional relationships, including semi‐classical analytical models, heuristic optimization methods, deep neural networks, topological optimization methods, etc. The viewpoint of this paper may push further researches on the structural‐functional relationship of artificially structured materials and devices, and find broad application prospects in imaging, communication, photonic chips, among many others.
