Abstract
Using the transfer matrix method approach (TMM.), the present paper attempts to determine the transmission properties of generalized quasi-periodic (GQP) photonic systems. In addition, it studies hybrid periodic photonic/generalizecl quasi-periodic photonic (PP/GQP) multilayer structures constructed as alternation of high-low contrast (Roger and Air) of refractive indices. The quasi-periodic photonic crystals (PCs) used in these hybrid hetero-structures are the generalized Fibonacci sequence GF (m, n) and the generalized Thue-Morse sequence GTM (m, n) (in and n are integers). The results are presented in microwave domain for normal incident wave. By varying the parameters m and n of the quasi-periodic structures, the corresponding transmission spectrum exhibits interesting properties. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
