Abstract

A technique to prepare one-dimensional anisotropic photonic crystals and microcavities based on anisotropic porous silicon exhibiting optical birefringence has been developed. Reflectance spectra demonstrate the existence of a photonic band gap and of an allowed microcavity mode at the photonic band gap center. The spectral position of these bands changes under rotation of the sample about its normal and/or under rotation of the plane of polarization of the incident radiation. The dependence of the shift of the spectral position of the photonic band gap edges and of the microcavity mode on the orientation of the polarization vector of incident electromagnetic wave with respect to the optical axis of the photonic crystals and microcavities was studied.
