Transparent-Component-Decimation Method for Studying the Optical Transmission of One Kind of Aperiodic Superlattices

Abstract:

Transparent-component-decimation (TCD) method may simplify the aperiodic sequences to the simplest form and one can obtain the transmissive characteristics without complicated calculations. Applying this method to the Family A of Generalized Thue-Morse [FAGTM(n)] aperiodic superlattices, we obtain directly the formulas of the transmission coefficients at the central wavelength. The results are in accord with the previous published results. It shows that the TCD method can be used to study optical transmission normally through aperiodic multilayers directly and exactly and has bright future.
