Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Photonic Crystals are semiconductor material structures that show promise for a variety of photonic-based applications. The properties of photonic crystals are very design-dependent. In this paper, we investigate the design of photonic crystal cavities by using Genetic Algorithms and Numerical Optimization Techniques. We see that the Genetic Algorithm proves to be powerful and effective design tool for such cavity structures.
