چکیده
We report on the design and fabrication of porous silicon based rugate filters. We have achieved narrow line-width, high reflectivity optical filters made entirely from silicon by continuously varying of the refractive index of Si and apodizing the index profile of the structure. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Fabrication and optimization of rugate filters based on porous silicon
We report an experimental study of porous silicon-based rugate filters. Possible optimisations that can improve different features of the filters are investigated. We demonstrate sidelobe attenuation by means of half-apodization of the structures with a sinusoidal window. Reduction of interference ripples are experimentally observed through the insertion of index-matching layers on the boundari...
متن کاملPorous silicon-based rugate filters.
We report an experimental study of porous silicon-based rugate filters. We performed filter apodization, following a half-apodization approach, which successfully attenuated the sidelobes at both sides of the photonic stop band. We achieved successful reduction of interference ripples through the insertion of index-matching layers on the first and last interfaces. An apodized dielectric mirror ...
متن کاملOptical sensing nanostructures for porous silicon rugate filters
Porous silicon rugate filters [PSRFs] and combination PSRFs [C-PSRFs] are emerging as interesting sensing materials due to their specific nanostructures and superior optical properties. In this work, we present a systematic study of the PSRF fabrication and its nanostructure/optical characterization. Various PSRF chips were produced with resonance peaks that are adjustable from visible region t...
متن کاملMonitoring of degradation of porous silicon photonic crystals using digital photography
We report the monitoring of porous silicon (pSi) degradation in aqueous solutions using a consumer-grade digital camera. To facilitate optical monitoring, the pSi samples were prepared as one-dimensional photonic crystals (rugate filters) by electrochemical etching of highly doped p-type Si wafers using a periodic etch waveform. Two pSi formulations, representing chemistries relevant for self-r...
متن کاملForming Antifouling Organic Multilayers on Porous Silicon Rugate Filters Towards In Vivo/Ex Vivo Biophotonic Devices
Advances in medical diagnostics towards in vivo and ex vivo devices relies heavily on development of transducers that are minimally invasive, highly sensitive and selective to analytes of interest and stable to biological enviroments. Minimally invasive optical devices have been developed for use intravascularly, extravascularly and subcutaneously with medical applications for monitoring during...
