Bandgap properties of low‐index contrast aperiodically ordered photonic quasicrystals

We numerically analyze, using Finite Difference Time Domain simulations, the bandgap properties of photonic quasicrystals with a low-index contrast. We compared 8-, 10-, and 12-fold symmetry aperiodically ordered lattices with different spatial tiling. Our results show that tiling design, more than symmetry, determines the transmission properties of these structures. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
