Abstract

We study the transmission properties of light through the Fibonacci-class quasiperiodic multilayers. The trace map of the propagation matrices, its invariant of motion, and the expression for the transmission coefficient are obtained. For the normal incidence of light, the transmission coefficient exhibits a switchlike property in a family of the Fibonacci-class multilayers, while a six-cycle feature in another family is found.
