Recently, negative refraction of electromagnetic waves in photonic crystals was demonstrated experimentally and subwavelength images were observed. However, these investigations all focused on the periodic structure. Here, we report a new theoretical and experimental finding that negative refraction can appear in some transparent quasicrystalline photonic structures. The photonic quasicrystals (PQCs) exhibit an effective refractive index close to -1 in a certain frequency window. The index shows small spatial dispersion, consistent with the nearly homogeneous geometry of the quasicrystal. More interestingly, a superlens based on the 2D PQCs can form a non-near-field subwavelength image whose position varies with the source distance. These properties make PQCs promising for application in a range of optical devices.
