Ultra-broadband polarization-independent omnidirectional reflectors via dielectric-reversal quasicrystal heterostructure multilayer films

Huanhuan Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, we have constructed a hybrid multilayer omnidirectional reflector with thin thickness and reflectivity above 99% over a visible range by concatenating the appealing dielectric-reversal Fibonacci sequence to a periodic sequence. By cascading two dielectric-reversal ordering sequences, an ultrabroad polarization-independent omnidirectional bandgap of the relative bandwidth of 39.8% has been achieved. The self-similarity of Fibonacci multilayer structures along with this characteristic quasiperiodic order guarantees the existence of perfect omnidirectional reflections at any scale. This ordering strategy of dielectric-reverse significantly enriches the variety of quasiperiodic orders in theory and applied science domains, differentiating it from previous conjugate and recursion methods.
