Using the transfer matrix method approach (TMM), the present paper attempts to determine the transmission properties of generalized quasi‐periodic (GQP) photonic systems. In addition, it studies hybrid periodic photonic/generalized quasi‐periodic photonic (PP/GQP) multilayer structures constructed as alternation of high‐low contrast (Roger and Air) of refractive indices. The quasi‐periodic photonic crystals (PCs) used in these hybrid hetero‐structures are the generalized Fibonacci sequence GF ( m , n ) and the generalized Thue–Morse sequence GTM ( m , n ) ( m and n are integers). The results are presented in microwave domain for normal incident wave. By varying the parameters m and n of the quasi‐periodic structures, the corresponding transmission spectrum exhibits interesting properties.
