Localization of optics: Quasiperiodic media.
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.read more

Coherent phenomena in light scattering from disordered systems
V. L. Kuzmin,Vadim P. Romanov +1 more
TL;DR: The current status of research on coherent light backscattering, temporal and spatial correlations of intensity of light propagating through a randomly inhomogeneous medium, and coherent effects due to the multiple scattering from very rough surfaces are reviewed in this article.

Photonic quasicrystalline and aperiodic structures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make an overview of recently fabricated aperiodic systems, one-, two-and three-dimensional, and briefly discuss clarifying and supplementing definitions of binary chains, irrational cuts through higher-dimensional lattices and tiling with regular polygons or polyhedrons.

The transfer matrix: A geometrical perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the use of the transfer matrix to study propagation in one-dimensional lossless systems, including a variety of examples, such as superlattices, photonic crystals, and optical resonators, is discussed.

Broad-bandgap and low-sidelobe surface plasmon polariton reflector with Bragg-grating-based MIM waveguide
TL;DR: By optimizing the profile of gap width between the metal and dielectric, the spectral sidelobe ofSPPR is effectively suppressed and thus the performance of the SPPR is further improved.

Xiaoguang Sun,Dwight L. Jaggard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reflection and transmission properties of fractal layers are investigated and characterized for electromagnetic or optical waves normally incident upon generalized Cantor bar fractal multilayers are found for various fractal dimensions and stages of growth.
