Many of the present-day optical devices use photonic crystals. These are multilayers dielectric media that control reflection and transmission light falling on them. In this paper, we study properties periodic, fractal, aperiodic crystals compare them based their attributes. Our calculations band reflectivity degree robustness reveal novel features, e.g., fractal found to reflect maximum amount incident light. On other hand, have largest immunity disorder. We believe such will be useful in a variety applications field communication.
