Nanoporous silicon GRIN lenses

International Journal of Nanotechnology (IJNT), Vol. 5, No. 2/3, 2008

Abstract: We describe a novel application of nanoporous silicon as thin GRIN lenses. Positive and negative lenses can be made by achieving a continuous radial variation of the porosity during the fabrication of the layer. The gradient of refractive index in radial direction depends on resistivity of the silicon wafer and etching current density. The shape of the anode determines the type of lens. An electrode in the shape of a ring produces the positive lenses, while a point electrode produces the negative lens.
