title: A new acceleration technique for the design of fibre gratings.
abstract: In this paper we propose a novel acceleration technique for the design of fibre gratings based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). It is shown that with an appropriate reformulation of the wavelength sampling scheme it is possible to design high quality optical filters with low computational effort. Our results will show that the proposed technique can reduce significantly the GA's processing time.
