چکیده
In this comprehensive paper we have addressed structure-property relationships in a number of representative systems with periodic, random, quasi-periodic and deterministic aperiodic geometry using the interdisciplinary methods of spatial point pattern analysis and spectral graph theory as well as the rigorous Green’s matrix method, which provides access to the electromagnetic scattering behavior and spectral fluctuations (distributions of complex eigenvalues as well as of their level spacing) of deterministic aperiodic optical media for the first time.

Spatial correlations and optical properties in three-dimensional deterministic aperiodic structures
Photonic systems have strongly varying optical properties depending on the spatial correlations present in a given realization. In photonic crystals the correlations are spatially periodic forming Bravais lattices whereas the building blocks of an amorphous medium are randomly distributed without any long-range order. In this manuscript we study the optical properties of so-called deterministic...
متن کاملSpatial and spectral detection of protein monolayers with deterministic aperiodic arrays of metal nanoparticles.
Light scattering phenomena in periodic systems have been investigated for decades in optics and photonics. Their classical description relies on Bragg scattering, which gives rise to constructive interference at specific wavelengths along well defined propagation directions, depending on illumination conditions, structural periodicity, and the refractive index of the surrounding medium. In this...

We theoretically investigate the spectral and localization properties of two-dimensional (2D) deterministic aperiodic (DA) arrays of photonic nanopillars characterized by singular continuous (Thue-Morse sequence) and absolutely continuous (Rudin-Shapiro sequence) Fourier spectra. A rigorous and efficient numerical technique based on the 2D Generalized Multiparticle Mie Theory is used to study t...

Based on the rigorous generalized Mie theory solution of Maxwell’s equations for dielectric cylinders we theoretically investigate the optical properties of two-dimensional deterministic structures based on the Fibonacci, Thue–Morse and Rudin–Shapiro aperiodic sequences. In particular, we investigate bandgap formation and mode localization properties in aperiodic photonic structures based on th...
متن کاملElectromagnetic coupling and plasmon localization in deterministic aperiodic arrays
In this paper we explore the potential of one-dimensional and two-dimensional deterministic aperiodic plasmonic arrays for the design of electromagnetic coupling and plasmon-enhanced, sub-wavelength optical fields on chip-scale devices. In particular, we investigate the spectral, far-field and near-field optical properties of metal nanoparticle arrays generated according to simple deterministic...
