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).engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11081-013-9212-zhttp://link.springer.com/restricted access519.863004.42:575.8Global optimization · Genetic algorithms · Descent algorithms · Optical code division multiple access · Sampled fiber Bragg grating designProgramación de ordenadores (Informática)Investigación operativa (Matemáticas)1203.23 Lenguajes de Programación1207 Investigación Operativa
