Abstract
A numerical inverse scattering theory for synthesizing refractive-index profiles of planar optical waveguides with prescribed transmission characteristics is presented. The method can reconstruct, from nonrational reflection coefficients, an appropriate characterization of truncated refractive-index profiles that model the actual waveguides. A scaling transformation that translates the reconstructed potential of the Schrödinger equation into a class of refractive-index profiles for planar optical waveguides is also discussed.
