contents Artificial Intelligence (AI) software based on transformer model is developed to automatically design gratings for possible integrations in ion traps to perform optical addressing on ions. From the user-defined (x,z) coordinates and full-width half-maximum (FWHM) values, the AI software can automatically generate the Graphic Design System (GDS) layout of the grating that shoots light towards the pre-defined (x,z) coordinates with built-in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation for performance verification. Based on the FDTD verification, AI-design gratings produced grating-to-free-space light that shoots towards the provided (x,z) target with < 2 micron deviations. For most attempts, the FWHM of FDTD simulation has < 2 micron deviations from the user-defined FWHM. The AI-designed gratings were successfully taped out and capable of producing output light for possible optical addressing of trapped ions.
