Theoretical calculation of reflectance and transmission spectra of periodic and quasi-periodic multiple layers
Abstract
We carry out a comparative theoretical analysis of the reflectance and transmission spectra of multiple layers in the periodic arrangement and quasi-periodic arrangement in the Thue-Morse sequence with a model frequency-dependent dielectric function. We calculate the reflectance spectra of a GaAs-AlAs quasi-periodic layered film grown in the Thue-Morse sequence from a GaAs substrate and compare our theoretical results with the experimental measurement of Humlicek et al. A good agreement between theory and experiment is found.
