Porous semiconductor materials are finding applications in many areas of science and technology. Porous Semiconductors: Optical Properties and Applicationsprovides an examination of these new types of materials, with an emphasis on optical properties and optical applications. Beginning with a description of the basic electrochemistry of porous semiconductors and the different kinds of porous semiconductor materials that can be fabricated, the book moves on to describe the fabrication processes used in the production of porous semiconductor optical components. This is then followed by a detailed description of peculiar light propagation phenomena. Concluding the text, a number of optical components based on porous semiconductor materials are discussed in depth. Provides a thorough grounding in the design, fabrication and theory behind the optical applications of porous semiconductor materials INDICE: Pore Etching Essentials.- Subwavelength Approach of Light Propagation through Porous Semiconductors.- Leaky Waveguide Approach of Light Propagation through Porous Semiconductors.- Normal Waveguide Approach of Light Propagation through Porous Semiconductors.- Optical Components from Mesoporous Silicon.- Long Wave Pass Filters.- Macroporous Silicon Ultraviolet Filters.- Polarization Components for the UV Range.- Retroreflection Suppression Plate.- Omnidirectional IR Filters.- Biochemical Sensors Based on Porous Silicon.
