    Abstract: This work aims to improve the accuracy of the numerical solution of the parabolic wave equation by Split-Step Pade (SSP) techniques, developed by Collins, using deep learning. Based on the recently developed deep finite difference method (deep FDM) by Kossaczka et al., an artificial neural network is trained to approximate the truncation error of the method, thus improving the accuracy without sacrificing the consistency properties of the split-step method. To train the model, a PINN loss function is used to learn the dynamics of the parabolic wave equation directly, without relying on higher-order solutions as training data. Currently, the idea is only applied to the simplest splitting type, but can in principle be modified to improve the accuracy of any splitting method.
