Abstract

The waveguiding, absorption and emission properties of oxidised porous silicon waveguides when impregnated with Nile Blue have been studied. We present m‐line measurements before and after the impregnation showing that the effective indices of the modes remain the same. When performing guided luminescence experiments, a structured emission band is measured. Using the refractive index profile extracted from m‐line measurements it has been possible to simulate the emission lineshape assuming the observation of an interference pattern formed across the waveguide. We demonstrate that these oscillations appear because in the first hundreds of nanometers the dye concentration is several orders of magnitude higher than in the rest of the sample.

This paper deals with the structural and optical properties of buried waveguides manufactured from mesoporous silicon films (as-formed porous silicon layers, after oxidation, after filling with active DR1 dyes). It is shown that the oxidation process only induced a weak morphology transformation. Th
