Abstract :
A novel nature-inspired technique is introduced and employed to synthesize fractal random superlattices with custom mirror and multispectral filter properties in the visible spectrum. Fractal random Cantor bars are utilized as a representative model of superlattice structures found in nature. An important benefit of the design methodology is a reduction in the number of parameters required for optimization by a genetic algorithm (GA).
