Abstract
Electrical and thermal modulation of porous silicon microcavities is demonstrated based on a change in the refractive index of liquid crystals infiltrated in the porous silicon matrix. Positive and negative anisotropy liquid crystals are investigated, leading to controllable tuning to both longer and shorter wavelengths. Extinction ratios greater than 10 dB have been demonstrated. Larger attenuation can be achieved by increasing the Q-factor of the microcavities.Entities:
