In this letter, for the first time, a genetic algorithm is applied successfully for the design and optimization of a multilayer slant linear polarizer to co¨er a bandwidth of 1:18. In the algorithm, the fitness function is selected based on the return-loss requirement. A minimum of 10 dB return loss in the specified bandwidth was achie¨ed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
