The last decades have witnessed the growing interest in the use of photonic crystal as a new material that can be used to control electromagnetic wave. Actually, not only the periodic structures but also the quasi-periodic systems have become significant structures of photonic crystals. This work deals with optical properties of dielectric Thue-Morse multilayer and Period-Doubling multilayer. We use the so-called Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) to determine the transmission spectra of the structures. Based on the representation of the transmittance spectra in the visible range a comparative analysis depending on the iteration number, number of layers and incidence angle is presented.

The model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with a centered defect with increasing number of layers was considered, and characteristic matrix method was used to calculate the transmittance spectra of the 1-D PCs. From the transmittance spectra, it shown that during the course of the number N of the layers of 1-D PCs’ one side symmetrical increased from 2 to 16, there occurred defect band gap in the stop band gap, when N upped to 16 , the defect band gap disappeared; besides, the defect band gap is at the frequencies around 0.30. In addition, in the progress of N increased from 3 to 16, the defect band gap reduced from the frequency range 0.0570 to 0.00, and the transmittance declined from 73.59% to 13.94% in the defect band gap.

Considered the model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with double defects, the refractive indexes (n2’, n3’ and n2’’, n3’’) of the double defects were 2.0, 4.0 and 4.0, 2.0 respectively. With parameter n2=1.5, n3=2.5, by theoretical calculations with characteristic matrix method, the results shown that for a certain number (14 was taken) of layers of the 1-D PCs, when the double defects abutted, there was a defect band gap in the stop band gap, while when the double defects separated, there occurred two defect band gaps in the stop band gap; besides, with the separation of the two defects, the transmittance of the double defect band gaps decreased gradually. In addition, in this progress, the frequency range of the stop band gap has a little increase from 0.092 to 0.095.

We study the one-dimensional logistic map with control parameter perturbed by a small periodic function. In the pure constant case, scaling arguments are used to obtain the exponents related to the relaxation of the trajectories at the exchange of stability, period-doubling and tangent bifurcations. In particular, we evaluate the exponent z which describes the divergence of the relaxation time τ near a bifurcation by the relation τ ~ | R - Rc |-z. Here, R is the control parameter and Rc is its value at the bifurcation. In the time-dependent case new attractors may appear leading to a different bifurcation diagram. Beside these new attractors, complex attractors also arise and are responsible for transients in many trajectories. We obtain, numerically, the exponents that characterize these transients and the relaxation of the trajectories.
