Abstract :
A methodology for the design of functional integrated optical components is presented. Based on existing fabrication techniques, small structures whose optical signal processing functionality is achieved by interaction of optical scattering from many small sites, are designed. Parallel Genetic Algorithm optimization of a multiple scattering model is used to produce desirable system elements tailored to a given specification
