C. Sibilia et al., Electromagnetic properties of periodic and quasi-periodic one-dimensional,metallo-dielectric photonic band gap structures, J OPT A-P A, 1(4), 1999, pp. 490-494
We discuss some of the electromagnetic properties of one-dimensional, metal
lo-dielectric photonic band gap structures. In our considerations, we inclu
de discussions of the transmissive and reflective properties of multilayer
stacks, and the density of electromagnetic held modes for the structure. In
particular, we highlight and contrast the role of quasi-periodic structure
s with respect to periodic structures, in the form of Canter Fibonacci sets
, and a 'chirped' set.
