In this paper, the influence of structural modifications on basic quasi-periodic (QP) photonic crystals (PhC’s) on self-similarity feature in their spectral responses is examined. Investigated crystals are chosen based on a present knowledge on the QP crystals, and are classified according to their structure. One of the QP crystals considered for the calculations is a concatenation, Fibonacci structure. It characterizes with a self-similar spectra for its different orders, which means, that the spectral shape repeats itself and can be partially identical for a different orders of the Fibonacci QP crystal. The calculations were also performed for the fractal structure, based on a Cantor QP crystal. Just as for the case of the Fibonacci structure, it characterizes with a self-similar spectra for different orders of the structure. Considered photonic devices are next put through simple modification operations by multiplication, conjugation or mirror reflection. Resulting, modified structures are used for the calculations of their spectral response. Results show, that the self-similarity of the spectra is not affected by performed modifications, and thus spectral response of QP PhC can be designed without losing this feature. Moreover the regular expansion of the repeated central part of the spectrum that appears in higher-order Fibonacci QP PhC spectra (due to the self-similarity) with the increase Fibonacci crystal order is presented here for the first time.
