Abstract

Porous silicon is an efficient photo- and electro-luminescence material and represents a promising candidate for opto-electronic applications. In the last years, porous silicon multilayers with a high enough refractive index contrast have been obtained. In this work, we study the light transmission in Fibonacci multilayers made of porous silicon. The theoretical reflectance spectra are compared with experimental data, observing a good agreement, even though they are extremely fragile when the number of quasiperiodic layers increases. The photoluminescence spectra show evidences of the quasiperiodic structure and in particular, the observed enhancement in comparison with that of single porous silicon layer could be due to the quasiperiodicity.
