Abstract

The goal of this work is to look for a technique of optimization making it possible to improve the optical performances of materials with photonic band gap by reducing of the Kiessig fringes. The techniques of apodization and smoothing were used. The combination of these two techniques made it possible to reduce the Kiessig fringes up to 95%.
