Abstract

We highlight the self‐similar features of the frequency‐dependent (absolute) reflection coefficient of a dielectric Cantor prefractal obtained by applying the well‐known Cantor‐set construction to the optical (rather than physical) layer lengths. The referred properties are first obtained using an exact characteristic matrix representation of the reflection coefficient and then resorting to an (accurate) small‐reflection approximation. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
