Inverse design of optical elements based on arrays of dielectric spheres [PDF]
Applied Optics Vol. 57, Issue 6, pp. 1437-1446 (2018), 2018 Arrays of wavelength scale scatterers are a promising platform for designing optical elements with a compact footprint. The large number of degrees of freedom in this system allows for unique and plentiful functionalities. However, the many variables also create a complex design problem.

Design and Optimization of Ellipsoid Scatterer-based Metasurfaces via the Inverse T-Matrix Method [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Large-area metasurfaces composed of discrete wavelength-scale scatterers present an extremely large number of degrees of freedom to engineer an optical element. These degrees of freedom provide tremendous design flexibility, and a central challenge in metasurface design is how to optimally leverage these degrees of freedom towards a desired optical ...
