Popis: When designing nano-structured metamaterials with an iterative optimization method, a fast deep learning solver is desirable to replace a time-consuming numerical solver, and the related issue of data shift is a subtle yet easily overlooked challenge. In this work, we explore the data shift challenge in an AI-based electromagnetic solver and present innovative solutions. Using a one-dimensional grating coupler as a case study, we demonstrate the presence of data shift through the probability density method and principal component analysis, and show the degradation of neural network performance through experiments dealing with data affected by data shift. We propose three effective strategies to mitigate the effects of data shift: mixed training, adding multi-head attention, and a comprehensive approach that combines both. The experimental results validate the efficacy of these approaches in addressing data shift. Specifically, the combination of mixed training and multi-head attention significantly reduces the mean absolute error, by approximately 36%, when applied to data affected by data shift. Our work provides crucial insights and guidance for AI-based electromagnetic solvers in the optimal design of nano-structured metamaterials.
