Abstract
We have designed and fabricated a porous silicon (PS) microcavity that shows a reflectivity resonance around 3 μm in between two spectral regions with high reflectivity values. The microcavity has been simulated following the photonic crystals formalism, which results in good agreement with the measured spectrum. The reflectivity spectrum of the microcavity has been analyzed under different humidity conditions. We demonstrate that the reflectivity resonance shifts to higher wavelengths and that the reflectivity decreases when the humidity increases. In addition, the reflectivity spectrum of the as-prepared device is recovered when the humidity returns to the initial laboratory conditions. Finally, the effect on the reflectivity spectrum of a condensed water layer at the surface of the microcavity is also analyzed.
