ABSTRACT In this study, for the first time, we present a new way of producing novel quasi-periodic multilayers based on the multiplication of some primitive available sequences such as Thue–Morse, Fibonacci (of two types N and P), Cantor, and constant length square sets. We also present some pseudo-codes to create these multilayers. Using a one-dimensional transfer matrix method, we obtain the transmission coefficient for some plasma-dielectric photonic crystals. Although, employing the above-mentioned approach many new sequences may be obtained, but for conciseness purpose, we analyze the photonic band gaps of a limited number of multilayers obtained in this way. We consider the effect of the number of layers, the refractive index of the dielectric later, multiplication of different fractal sets, etc., on the electromagnetic wave transport properties.
