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.

Optical transmission through multi-component generalized Thue-Morse superlattices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the optical transmission vertically through the one-dimensional (1D) m CGTM superlattices and found that optical transmission possesses an interesting pseudo-constant characteristic at the central wavelength.

Enhancement of Light Localization in Hybrid Thue-Morse/Periodic Photonic Crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the electric field intensity in one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic and hybrid photonics band-gap structures is studied in the present paper, where photonic structures are ordered according to Fibonacci, Thue-Morse, Cantor, Rudin-Shapiro, Period-Doubling, Paper-Folding, and Baum-Sweet sequences.

Omnidirectional Reflection from Generalized Kolakoski Multilayers

TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of omnidirectional band gaps in one-dimensional layered photonic structures which are aligned according to the generalized Kolakoski inflation rule is studied using the transfer matrix formalism.

Rigorous solution for electromagnetic waves propagating through pre-Cantor sets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study one-dimensional systems constructed from a segment by employing the Cantor-set rule up to an arbitrary stage of self-similar patterns and present a rigorous expression of the transfer matrix to describe the electromagnetic waves propagating through them.
