Enhanced Light-Matter Interaction in Porous Silicon Microcavities Structurally Optimized Using Theoretical Simulation and Experimental Validation.

ABSTRACT: Light-matter interactions in optical microcavities attract much attention due to their potential for controlling properties of materials. Among the various types of optical microcavities, porous silicon microcavities (pSiMCs) are of special interest because of their relatively simple fabrication procedure, tunable porosity, and large specific surface area, which make them highly suitable for a wide range of optoelectronic and sensing applications. However, the fabrication of pSiMCs with precisely controlled parameters, which is crucial for effective light-matter coupling, remains challenging due to the multiple variables involved in the process. In addition, the parameter characterizing the capacity of pSiMCs for confining light inside the cavity (the quality factor, QF) rarely exceeds 100
