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.

21 - Layered Photonic Crystals with Left-Handed Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of two multilayer structures composed of RHMs and LHMs is proposed to realize an omnidirectional reflector of light for both transverse electric (TE) or transverse magnetic (TM) polarization of the electromagnetic waves.

Evolution of orbital angular momentum in a soft quasi-periodic structure with topological defects.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-periodic structure (QPS) with topological defects is proposed, and the analytical expression of the corresponding Fourier spectrum is derived, which reflects the combined effects of topological structure and quasi-translational symmetry.
