Optimization of transparent metal structures by genetic algorithms

In this article the general problem of designing high performances Transparent Metal structures is deeply discussed. In particular the Genetic Algorithms are introduced as useful tool for searching the optimal thicknesses of the layers. The article deeply analyses the effect of all parameters of the Genethic Algorithms so to optimize the computational time in the optical filter design. As an example the article reviews the basic steps for the design of a particular metallo/dielectric multilayer structure made of nine layers.
