Parameter Optimization Problems for Multilayer Optical Coatings

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

Two problems of finding optimal parameters for multilayer optical coatings are considered. They are formulated as multiextremal nonlinear programming problems with a complex objective function. Finding local extrema by first-order methods is discussed. The ways of calculating the gradient of the objective function depending on the number of layers in the optical coating are analyzed.
