Researchers have developed a Large Language Model (LLM) agent capable of orchestrating the design of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) directional couplers. This agent proposes geometrical dimensions and judges convergence, while relying on deterministic solvers for the actual physics calculations. A frequency-domain eigenmode solver determines the coupling coefficient, and a Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) stage validates the design, ensuring consistency within a 2D effective-index model. The LLM successfully delivered a 50/50 splitter with a minimal residual error. AI
