Abstract

The origin of omnidirectional band gaps in one-dimensional layered photonic structures which are aligned according to the generalized Kolakoski in flation rule are studied using the transfer matrix formalism. On their basis some particular designs of cascaded aperiodic heterostructures are proposed. It is found that the proposed cascaded structures stand out by the omnidirectional reflection bands which cover whole near-infrared spectral region.
