TLDR
An experiment to probe the (quasi)localization of the photon is proposed, in which optical layers are constructed following the Fibonacci sequence, which has scaling with respect to the number of layers, as well as an interesting fluctuation.
Abstract
An experiment to probe the (quasi)localization of the photon is proposed, in which optical layers are constructed following the Fibonacci sequence. The transmission coefficient has a rich structure as a function of the wavelength of light and, in fact, is multifractal. For particular wavelengths for which the resonance condition is satisfied, the light propagation has scaling with respect to the number of layers, as well as an interesting fluctuation.

Quasi-periodic and periodic photonic crystals : A simulation study of their self-assembly, stability and photonic properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the self-assembly, stability and photonic properties of colloidal photonic crystals using a core-corona model of the particles which is simulated as particles interacting with a purely repulsive hard-core square-shoulder potential.

Spectral and polarization effects in deterministically non-periodic multilayers containing optically anisotropic and gyrotropic materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of material anisotropy and gyrotropy on optical properties of fractal multilayer nanostructures is theoretically investigated, and the design of frequency-selective absorptionless polarizers for polarization-sensitive integrated optics is outlined.

Light propagation in quasi-periodic Fibonacci waveguide arrays

TL;DR: In this paper, light propagation along one-dimensional quasi-periodic waveguide array optically induced in Fe:LiNbO3 crystal two Fibonacci elements, A and B, are used as a separation between waveguides, demonstrating numerically and experimentally that a beam expansion in such arrays is effectively reduced compared to the periodic ones, without changing beam expansion scaling law.

Silicon nanostructures for photonics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that low dimensional silicon shows light amplification characteristics, non-linear optical effects, photon confinement in both one and two dimensions, photon trapping with evidence of light localization, and gas sensing properties.

Multi-band optical filter design using Fibonacci based quasiperiodic homogeneous structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate quasi-periodic homogeneous structures as multi-band optical filters and demonstrate the bandwidth dependency on system parameters, using the number of layers in the Fibonacci based quasiperiodic structure for filter profile control.
