Despite limiting the performance of multilayer optical thin-films, light scattering properties are not as yet controllable by current design methods. These methods usually consider only specular properties: transmittance and reflectance. Among other techniques, design of thin-film components assisted by deep neural networks have seen growing interest over the last few years. This paper presents an implementation of a deep neural network model for light scattering design and proposes an optimization process for complex multilayer thin-film components to comply with expectations on both specular and scattering spectral responses.
