Abstract

Multilayer structures of anisotropically nanostructured (birefringent) silicon have been fabricated and studied by polarization-resolved reflection and transmission measurements. We demonstrate that stacks of birefringent porous silicon layers with alternating refractive indices and thicknesses act as dichroic Bragg reflectors or dichroic microcavities with a transmission/reflection dependent on the polarization direction of the incident light. The possibility of separate fine tuning of two orthogonally polarized transmission/reflection bands and their spectral splitting is demonstrated. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
