A Deep Learning Model for Spectral Reconstruction of Arrayed Micro-Resonators

Abstract

Miniaturized spectrometers employing photonic crystal cavity arrays in conjunction with computational reconstruction have gained attention as effective tools for spectral analysis. Nevertheless, achieving an optimal balance among spectral resolution, detection range, and device compactness remains challenging, particularly when complex nonlinear mappings, inter-pattern correlations, and noise interference are involved. In this work, we present ESTspecNet, a deep learning framework that integrates EfficientNet, the Swin Transformer, and spatial-channel attention mechanisms to improve spectral reconstruction accuracy. We reconstructed near-infrared spectra over an 80 nm range using a 144-unit photonic crystal cavity array, and achieved a single-peak resolution of 0.47 nm and a double-peak resolution of 0.7 nm. Compared to conventional methods, the proposed model demonstrates superior performance in both wide-range spectral reconstruction and fine-resolution tasks, thus highlighting its ability to effectively capture intricate spectral features and long-range dependencies, thereby advancing the reconstruction capabilities of miniaturized spectrometers.
