Light transport through the band-edge states of Fibonacci quasicrystals.
The propagation of light in nonperiodic quasicrystals is studied by ultrashort pulse interferometry. Samples consist of multilayer dielectric structures of the Fibonacci type and are realized from porous silicon. We observe mode beating and strong pulse stretching in the light transport through these systems, and a strongly suppressed group velocity for frequencies close to a Fibonacci band gap...
متن کاملRenormalization, Freezing Phase Transitions and Fibonacci Quasicrystals
We examine the renormalization operator determined by the Fibonacci substitution. We exhibit a fixed point and determine its stable leaf (under iteration of the operator). Then, we study the thermodynamic formalism for potentials in this stable leaf, and prove they have a freezing phase transition, with ground state supported on the attracting quasi-crystal associated to the Fibonacci substitut...
متن کاملFibonacci Optical Lattices for Tunable Quantum Quasicrystals
We describe a new type of quasiperiodic optical lattice, created by a physical realization of the abstract cut-and-project construction underlying all quasicrystals. The resulting potential is a generalization of the Fibonacci tiling. Calculation of the energies and wavefunctions of ultracold atoms loaded into such a lattice demonstrate a multifractal energy spectrum, a singular continuous mome...
متن کاملHelmholtz Pulse Propagation & Spatially-Dispersive Light
We present the first detailed account of modelling pulses in Helmholtz-type nonlinear systems with both temporal and spatial dispersion. Exact analytical solitons will be reported, and their stability examined through mathematical analysis and computer simulations. © 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (190.5530) Pulse propagation and temporal solitons; (190.4400) Nonlinear optics, mate...
متن کاملOmnidirectional bandgaps in Fibonacci quasicrystals containing single-negative materials.
The band structure and bandgaps of one-dimensional Fibonacci quasicrystals composed of epsilon-negative materials and mu-negative materials are studied. We show that an omnidirectional bandgap (OBG) exists in the Fibonacci structure. In contrast to the Bragg gaps, such an OBG is insensitive to the incident angle and the polarization of light, and the width and location of the OBG cease to chang...
