Both theoretically and experimentally, we demonstrate that the photonic band gaps in Thue–Morse aperiodic systems can be separated into two flavors, the fractal gaps and the traditional gaps, distinguished by the presence or absence of fractal structure, respectively. The origin of two kind gaps is explained by the different interface correlations. This explanation is confirmed by the gap width behaviors. In addition, the eigenstates near the fractal gaps have a cluster-periodic form, while those near the traditional gaps have the Bloch wavelike form. Our detailed study of these differences is essential for understanding the spectra and light localization in aperiodic systems. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
