LINEAR PERIODIC AND QUASI-PERIODIC ANISOTROPIC LAYERED MEDIA WITH ARBITRARY ORIENTATION OF OPTIC AXIS - A NUMERICAL STUDY

We study numerically the linear properties of periodic and quasiperiod ic anisotropic layered media. Each anisotropic slab can have arbitrary orientation of optic axis. We apply the general numerical code to rec over the known results for sole filters. We propose novel periodic str uctures where the location and width of the gaps can be controlled eas ily. We also study the transmission properties of a Fibonacci sequence of anisotropic layers and show the interesting features like self-sim ilarity and scaling.
