| contents | Significant efforts have been devoted to manipulating topological states, which often manifest as localized modes at interfaces between distinct topological phases. In this work, we demonstrate a versatile approach to sculpting topological modes (TMs) into any desired shapes by incorporating various artificial gauge fields (AGFs), including scalar, vector, and imaginary gauge potentials, and leveraging the power of artificial neural networks (ANNs). These AGFs enable precise tuning of the dissipation of the TMs across that of bulk modes, facilitating a transition from localized to fully delocalized states. Moreover, ANNs allow precise engineering of these eigenmodes to achieve tailored profiles of topological states, which remain spectrally isolated within the bandgap and exhibit minimal loss compared to other modes. Our theoretical results are experimentally validated on silicon photonic platforms, demonstrating flexible manipulation of TM profiles. This approach enables the design of topological states with customized properties, offering significant potential for diverse applications in photonics and beyond. |
