Multilayer structures are key elements in modern optics, nanotechnology and photonics, where their spectral characteristics determine the efficiency and performance of devices. However, modern analysis methods have a number of limitations, such as low accuracy and insufficient noise immunity, which complicates work with complex systems.The aim of this study is to develop a new hybrid inverse analysis model that combines classical iterative methods and deep neural networks. The proposed model uses the advantages of pre-training of neural networks for fast initialization of the parameters of multilayer structures and iterative methods for their optimization.In the course of the work, an algorithm and a corresponding software product were created, which were implemented in Python and tested on synthetic data with noise. The model was implemented using the NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib libraries, as well as TensorFlow and Keras for building and training deep neural networks. This approach ensured efficient data processing, high accuracy of results, and the ability to adapt to various experimental conditions. The results showed that the model provides high accuracy in restoring spectral parameters even under conditions of significant noise levels. This is confirmed by low values of the mean square error and high coefficient of determination, which exceed the results of traditional approaches. In addition, the model turned out to be adaptive to changes in the geometry of the layers and optical properties, and its use allowed to reduce the number of iterations due to pre-training of deep neural networks.The application of the developed model is promising for spectroscopy, development of optical coatings, sensors and photonic devices. Its flexibility allows working with small training samples, and the ability to adapt to noise expands the analysis capabilities. Further improvement of the algorithm, including optimization of neural networks and expansion of the training base, can significantly expand the scope of its application and provide even higher accuracy.
