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.

Transmission spectra in photonic band-gap Fibonacci nanostructures

TL;DR: In this article, the transmission spectra of photonic band-gap Fibonacci quasiperiodic nanostructures composed of both positive (SiO2) and negative refractive index materials, the so-called metamaterials, are calculated by using a theoretical model based on the transfer matrix approach for normal incidence geometry.

Effect of Uniaxial Strain on the Performance of One-Dimensional Graphene Fibonacci Photonic Crystal Biosensors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used transfer matrix method to find surface modes and calculate the sensitivity and full width at half-minimum of the resonance dip in the reflectance spectrum when graphene monolayers are under uniaxial strain.

Narrow transmittance peaks in a multilayered microsphere with a quasiperiodic left-handed stack

TL;DR: In this paper, the photon spectrum in coated microspheres with alternating quasiperiodic layers having left-handed (LH) materials included was studied and it was found that the band gap (spectral zone of nearly zero transmittancy) in such a system is strongly enhanced.

Optical Filters Using Optical Multi-Layer Structures for Optical Communication Systems

TL;DR: In this article, light reflection spectrums for different one-dimensional multi-layer structures are obtained using the transfer matrix method using optical reflectivities for periodic, superperiodic, and quasiperiodic structures.
