    The Bragg diffraction of waves in one-dimensional doubly periodic media is analyzed by means of Kogelnik’s coupled-waves technique. The spectrum problem and the problem of reflection from a half-space and from a layer are considered. It is shown that a devil’s-staircase type of spectrum causes characteristic peaks and valleys in the frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient
