    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Computational Physics

    Background:

    • A previous publication by Zhao et al. introduced a differential evolution (DE) algorithm for optimizing negative-index metamaterials (NIMs).
    • A comment by Aslam and Güney raised concerns regarding the implementation and retrieval procedure in the original paper.
    • The existence of multiple branches for the refractive index (n') in the retrieval process was identified as a potential ambiguity.

    Discussion:

    • The authors reaffirm the correctness of their DE algorithm implementation for NIMs optimization.
    • Ambiguities related to multiple branches of the refractive index (n') in the retrieval procedure were addressed and resolved using a robust retrieval method.
    • The previously reported Figure of Merit (FOM) of 15.2 for the DE-designed optimal fishnet structure is defended as reasonable under ideal fabrication conditions.

    Key Insights:

    • The robust retrieval method effectively eliminates ambiguities in NIMs optimization using the DE algorithm.
    • The DE algorithm's application in designing optimal fishnet structures for NIMs is validated.
    • A FOM of 15.2 is achievable for these structures in idealized scenarios.

    Outlook:

    • Further research may focus on refining fabrication processes to achieve the theoretical FOM under realistic conditions.
    • This work contributes to the accurate computational design and optimization of advanced optical materials.
    • The validated methodology can be applied to other complex material optimization problems.
