This article studies the propagation of light in asymmetric Cantor set fractal multi-layered structures. We show that well designed Cantor set structures can lead to broadband high reflectivity over a large wavelength range but, by adding asymmetries to the Cantor set, it is possible to control the reflectivity from 100% to nearly 0%.
