contents Nanophotonic freeform design has the potential to push the performance of optical components to new limits, but there remains a challenge to effectively perform optimization while reliably enforcing design and manufacturing constraints. We present Neuroshaper, a framework for freeform geometric parameterization in which nanophotonic device layouts are defined using an analytic neural network representation. Neuroshaper serves as a qualitatively new way to perform shape optimization by capturing multi-scalar, freeform geometries in an overparameterized representation scheme, enabling effective optimization in a smoothened, high dimensional geometric design space. We show that Neuroshaper can enforce constraints and topology manipulation in a manner where local constraints lead to global changes in device morphology. We further show numerically and experimentally that Neuroshaper can apply to a diversity of nanophotonic devices. The versatility and capabilities of Neuroshaper reflect the ability of neural representation to augment concepts in topological design.
