Abstract We report computational results on the optical response of quarter-wave periodic, modified periodic and optimized photonic crystals based on Ge and MgF2 materials. Transfer matrix method and pattern-search optimization algorithm have been combined to achieve high performance structures destined to spectral control in thermophotovoltaic systems. Our computations demonstrate that the pattern-search algorithm is readily applicable to optimal design of photonic crystals within reduced computing time. High optical performance and spectral efficiency have been achieved.
