Book cover Handbook of Porous Silicon

Abstract

In this chapter, the nonlinear-optical properties of porous silicon and porous-silicon-based structures are discussed in close connection with their linear optical properties. Variations of the nonlinear susceptibility tensor for porous silicon in comparison with bulk silicon are discussed with special interest to the effect of optical anisotropy caused by the pore orientation. Phase matching for second- and third-harmonic generation in birefringent porous silicon and photonic crystals is also covered. Incoherent nonlinear-optical processes such as nonlinear refraction, absorption, and optical bleaching, as well as different mechanisms responsible for them, are reviewed. Finally, the possibility to employ these effects for developing photonic devices as optical gates, logical elements, and waveguides are discussed.
