%X In this article, we focus on the design of code division multiple access filters (used in data transmission) composed of a particular optical fiber called sampled fiber Bragg grating (SFBG). More precisely, we consider an inverse problem that consists in determining the effective refractive index profile of an SFBG that produces a given reflected spectrum. In order to solve this problem, we use an original multi-layers semi-deterministic global optimization method based on the search of suitable initial conditions for a given optimization algorithm. The results obtained with our optimization algorithms are compared, in term of complexity and final design, with those given by an hybrid genetic algorithm (the method generally considered in the literature for designing SFBGs).
