Development of a polarimetric based optical biosensor using a free standing porous membrane

2013

The first published paper entitled Birefringent porous silicon membranes for optical sensing presents the results of the investigation on free standing silicon membranes prepared from p-type (110) surface oriented silicon as a material for optical biosensing. The birefringence and sensitivity of this type of porous membrane is theoretically simulated using the Bruggeman model which is extended to incorporate the influence that silicon oxidation has on both birefringence and sensitivity. Using this extended theoretical model a good agreement is found between the measured sensitivity values and the theoretical ones. The final section of this chapter describes the development of a statistical …
