Comparing omnidirectional reflection from periodic and quasiperiodic one-dimensional photonic crystals

Opt Express. 2005 May 30;13(11):3913-20. doi: 10.1364/opex.13.003913.

Abstract

We determine the range of thicknesses and refractive indices for which omnidirectional reflection from quasiperiodic dielectric multilayers occurs. By resorting to the notion of area under the transmittance curve, we assess in a systematic way the performance of the different Fibonacci multilayers.
