Full control of spontaneous emission is essential in various fields of optics. This work presents an inverse designed light-emitting scattering optical element that includes full control of spontaneously emitted photons (i.e., enhancement at a central frequency and suppression at neighboring frequencies) and directionality of the output beam. This is achieved by embedding a one-dimensional optical active element inside a cluster of square shaped gallium arsenide dielectric rods whose positions are optimized by a genetic algorithm. Large spontaneous emission enhancement of > 70 is predicted at the transition wavelength if high-quality sources are employed. Moreover, neighboring wavelengths are simultaneously suppressed over 10 times. Finally, the radiated beam is highly collimated to only 6 degrees and contains 30 times the energy emitted by the source placed in free space.
