dielectric loss, [5] ohmic loss, [13][14][15][16] loading tunable lumped elements, [17][18][19][20] or multilayered metasurface. [15] Furthermore, polarization conversion and interference cancellation are introduced to the designs to achieve even better absorption and wider bandwidth. [21][22][23] Though the metasurface increases the design freedom of absorbers, it also causes complexity in design. Firstly, the increased dimensionality of the design freedom rapidly raises the cost of optimizations since the acquisition of EM response of MSA usually involves complex and time-consuming numerical simulations. [24] Next, the pattern of meta-atoms is usually given by physics-inspired considerations, which leads to regular patterns or their geometric transformations, such as split rings, [25] patches, [26] cross, [27] V-shapes, [28,29] and so on. These regular patterns are in a very small subspace of whole patterns, and thus the absorbers implemented by such patterns may not achieve the best absorbing performances.To meet the complexity caused by meta-atoms, one trend is using the deep learning (DL) method to model the meta-atoms, which have been extensively studied in computer science and engineering. [30] The unique feature of DL is that it can discover useful information from large amounts of data and establish data-driven models for the design. [24] For example, deep neural network (DNN) can capture data features with higher levels of abstraction in lower-level features and fit complex input-output relationships. Using this capability of the DL, one can construct a model to characterize the complex relationship between geometric topology and EM response for MS, and then timeconsuming numerical modeling is avoided in the design process. [31] This surrogate model will greatly improve design efficiency. However, it can only apply to the optimal design of MS with given topologies because of the one-to-one correspondence between the topologies and topological parameters. To overcome this shortcoming, the generative networks model attracts much attention. The generative model can not only effectively capture the essential features of complex input datasets, but uses the feature knowledge to generate new data. For example, researchers build generative adversarial networks (GANs) to implement the inverse design of metasurface patterns. [32][33][34] However, the inverse design model meets the convergence difficulty because of the existence of multiple candidate solutions.In this work, we propose a generative meta-atom model for the generation and optimization of MS toward absorbing Metasurfaces (MS) are widely accepted in the devices, such as absorbers, to improve their performances. MS provide new design freedoms, however, they also result in complexity in designs because of the high-dimensional topological space of meta-atoms, and high computational costs in the optimization procedure. To alleviate this challenge, a generative meta-atom model that generates the pattern and corresponding electromagnetic (EM) responses of m...
