Abstract
The transfer matrix method (TMM) is deployed to determine the reflectance spectra of Octonacci photonic structures. First, the structures are designed using the TiO2 and SiO2 slabs materials. This design allows the obtainment of limited high reflectors for some optical communication wavelengths and for both TE and TM polarizations. After that, the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) and the silica slabs replace the previous materials in Octonacci structures. This modification permits to extend the omni-directional reflectance bands for both polarizations. The iteration number of the Octonacci sequence has an important effect on these bands. Later the geometric thickness of the photonic structure is optimized by changing the reference wavelength λ0 and omnidirectional high reflectors that cover all optical communication wavelengths (650, 850, 1300 and 1550 nm) are obtained. In addition, for these wavelengths, a tiny effect of the ambient temperature is noticed. These omnidirectional high reflectors can find application in glass (GFO) and plastic (PFO) fiber optics and may be used in sensing applications.
