Localized modes configuration of a Cantor-like chiral photonic structure

Abstract

A fractal-like (Cantor-like) stratified structure of chiral and achiral isotropic layers is considered. Peculiarities of the wave localization, scalability and sequential splitting in the reflected field of both co-polarized and cross-polarized components are studied. The appearing of the additional peak multiplets in stopbands is revealed, and a correlation of their properties with chirality parameter is established.
