Abstract

We investigate the transmission properties of the Fibonacci quasiperiodic layered structures consisting of a pair of double positive (DPS), epsilon-negative (ENG) or/and mu-negative (MNG) materials. It is found that there exist the polarization-dependent transmission gaps which are invariant with a change of scaling and insensitive to incident angles. Analytical methods based on transfer matrices and effective medium theory have been used to explain the properties of transmission gaps of DPS-MNG, DPS-ENG, ENG-MNG Fibonacci multilayer structures.
