Abstract
A convenient method to fabricate two-dimensional photonic quasicrystal microstructures was experimentally demonstrated by using a rotatable four-wedge prism. Two-dimensional eightfold symmetric quasicrystal microstructures are formed by two groups of twisted square lattices in a photorefractive crystal. The experimental devices of this method are simple and stable without complicated optical adjustment equipment. Optical-induced quasicrystal microstructures are analyzed and verified by magnified imaging and far-field diffraction pattern imaging. The method can be extended to fabricate more complex quasicrystal and moiré lattice microstructures. We numerically demonstrate that this method can be used to fabricate other complex photonic microstructures by using different multi-wedge prisms and adjusting the rotation angle properly.
