Optical interference holography has been proved to be a useful technique infabricating periodic photonic crystals in which electromagnetic waves areforbidden in certain frequency bandgaps. Compared to periodic crystalsquasicrystals, having higher point group symmetry, are more favourable inachieving complete bandgaps. In this report, we propose two seven-beam opticalinterference configurations based on the reciprocal vector spacerepresentations for quasicrystals to fabricate icosahedral quasicrystals.Interference simulations for the quasicrystals exhibit the full symmetry of anicosahedron. The result paves the path for the fabrication of photonicquasicrystals using holographic lithography.Comment: 9 pages, 1 table, 3 figure
