Porous-silicon-based photonic crystals for sensing applications

A new type of porous-silicon based photonic biosensor is presented. The device is a 1D planar photonic crystal supporting resonant modes that can be excited at normal incidence. The study of theoretical performances demonstrates a high sensitivity with similar performances in air and in aqueous environment. The experimental realization of the sensor is discussed and preliminary biosensing experiments show very promising results.
