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.
