Experimental evidence of guided resonances in photonic crystals with aperiodically-ordered supercells [PDF]
We report on the first experimental evidence of guided resonances (GRs) in photonic crystal slabs based on aperiodically-ordered supercells. Using the Ammann-Beenker (quasiperiodic, 8-fold symmetric) tiling geometry, we present our study on the ...

Multipurpose S-shaped solvable profiles of the refractive index: application to modeling of antireflection layers and quasi-crystals [PDF]
A class of four-parameter solvable profiles of the electromagnetic admittance has recently been discovered by applying the newly developed Property & Field Darboux Transformation method (PROFIDT). These profiles are highly flexible.

Holographic assembly of quasicrystalline photonic heterostructures
Quasicrystals have a higher degree of rotational and point-reflection symmetry than conventional crystals. As a result, quasicrystalline heterostructures fabricated from dielectric materials with micrometer-scale features exhibit interesting and useful ...

Bloch–Landau–Zener Oscillations in Moiré Lattices
Abstract A theory of two‐dimensional Bloch–Landau–Zener (BLZ) oscillations of wavepackets in incommensurate moiré lattices under the influence of a weak linear gradient is developed. Unlike periodic systems, aperiodic lattices lack translational symmetry and therefore do not exhibit a conventional band‐gap structure.
