Abstract
We study numerically the optical transmission of one-dimensional binary qua siperiodic dielectric multilayers, which are arranged in Fibonacci sequence s along two opposite directions and possess a mirror symmetry. We find that the transmission coefficient is unity for all sequences studied at the cen tral wavelength lambda = lambda(0), where lambda(0) = 4n(A(B))d(A(B)), With n(A(B)) and d(A(B)) being the index of refraction and thickness of two kin ds of layer, respectively. As the number of layers in the sequence increase s, more and more perfect transmission peaks appear. We observe a scaling of the transmission spectra with increasing sequence length. These phenomena will find applications in fabrication of multiwavelength narrow-band optica l filters.
