We are developing novel photonic crystal structures made of high aspect ratio micro-rod arrays. The fabrication of these rods is based on the creation of macroporous Si by a wet-chemical etching technique and subsequent filling of the pores and selective etching of the Si substrate. Due to their high aspect ratio the rods exhibit almost ideal 2D optical properties. Simulations show that they can be used as optical bandgap materials.
A potential application of these structures is a photonic crystal based gas detection system in which the photonic crystal is used to reduce the optical absorption path.
