Abstract

By means of transfer matrix method, the reflectance of Thue-Morse (T-M) structure containing indefinite metamaterials is investigated It is shown that there is an omnidirectional reflectance band (ORB), and location of the ORB remains invariant with the change of generation order. The width of the ORB is determined by the higher frequency band edge for TE polarization and the lower frequency band edge for TM polarization. The location and width of the ORB is not affected by lattice scaling factor. When an impurity is introduced, a defect mode appears in the band gap. The position of the defect modes is weakly dependent on incident angle for TE polarization, but is affected by incident angle for TM polarization.
