18. For standard Fibonacci sequence, the ratio is τ = (1 + √5)/2. The ratios other than τ can be derived from other 1D quasi-periodic subclasses. All possible subclasses have been classified [D. Levine and P. J. Steinhardt, Phys. Rev. B 34, 596 (1986)].
19. The blocks A and B can also be arranged according to other quasi-periodic subclasses and can be composed of one or more layers of different materials [R. Merlin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 1768 (1985); A. Behrooz et al., ibid. 57, 368 (1986)].

22. Some essential simplifications of the theoretical treatment were considered, including the approximation of slowly varying envelope for fundamental, second-, and third-harmonic fields and ignoring depletion of the fundamental and harmonic field.

26. 3 has short-wavelength transparency from 280 nm [K. Mizuuchi, K. Yamamoto, T. Taniuchi, ibid. 58, 2732 (1991)]. Thus, by a suitable choice of a QPOS, harmonic generation in the UV region is possible.
