We compare the Maxwell Garnett and the Bruggeman effective medium models for porous silicon with simulations and experiments for the case of polarization orthogonal to the pore axis. The Maxwell Garnett model matches the results of the simulations even up to very high porosities. An experimental study of the effective permittivity of macroporous and mesoporous silicon is conducted by analyzing the Fabry-Pérot oscillations in the long-wavelength limit. These experimental results are also consistent with the Maxwell Garnett model. We advocate using this model for media with cylindrical pores in the future.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140070702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing the trapping beams into small regions within the three-dimensional scattering medium, the scattering particles around them are concentrated in those regions, resulting in an inhomogeneous scatterer distribution. The experimental results show that optical trapping increases the maximum spike intensity in the emission spectrum. Furthermore, the spectral spike intensity depends on the power of the trap spots. The relationship between the maximum and average spike intensities in the emission spectra exhibits a characteristic observed in other random lasers with inhomogeneous scatterer distributions.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140070638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is used to design the stamp profile required to produce a Fresnel lens and the theoretical performance of the metalens is examined using the finite-difference time-domain method.
