Multilayer optical filters, appropriately designed to reject the optical noise emitted in the range between the main UV spectral lines of the atmospheric N2 fluorescence, induced by the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) via the effect of Extensive Air Showers (EAS), are presented in this work. For the design we used the method of simulated annealing, assuming 40 dielectric layers. A simplified model of the main optical noise components has been used for calculating the evolution of the trigger probability and the resulting duty cycle of a pixel detector. The method has been applied for the fluorescence telescope of the AUGER Observatory, assuming the use of various optical filters.
