Broad Omnidirectional Reflection Band Forming using the Combination of Fibonacci Quasi-Periodic and Periodic One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

Abstract

By combining two Fibonacci quasi-periodic structures and a periodic structure to form a heterostructure, a broad omnidirectional reflection band is obtained. From the numerical results performed by the transfer matrix method, it is found that the reflection bands of the two Fibonacci quasi-periodic sub-structures and the periodic sub-structure can be compensated for each other. This method is expected to be useful in constructing a one-dimensional quasi-periodic photonic crystal structure with a broad omnidirectional reflection band.
