Abstract
The electromagnetic scattering properties of identical parallel dielectric cylinders configured to closely match a desired response are investigated. Spatial arrangements obtained using a computationally efficient gradient-based optimizer and finite difference forward solver are aperiodic and nonintuitive. We find good agreement between calculations and experiments performed at 37.5GHz and suggest that finite-sized aperiodic configurations may provide access to functionality inaccessible by conventional periodic, photonic crystal inspired, designs.
