In this review materials and technologies of the hybrid approach to integrated photonics (IP)
are addressed. IP is nowadays a mature technology and is the most promising candidate to …

Positronium beam formation and manipulation are required in several fundamental
experiments. Efficient positron/positronium conversion in transmission configuration would …

The effect of surface roughness on the optical absorption of a porous material is numerically
investigated. We performed a comparative study among different porous geometries and we …

In this work, we report on the difference of mechanical stress in free standing and attached
Porous silicon membranes. By performing Raman analysis, we demonstrate that the tensile …

Nowadays sensors are everywhere around us. We are monitoring nearly all aspects of our
daily life: from health to security, from domotic to environmental aspects. The availability of …

Nanoporous materials are ideal candidates to fabricate sensors with high sensitivities. Using
nanoporous materials both the strength and the type of interactions between analytes and …

Silicon is the most common semiconductor in technology. Its main limit is the lacking of
efficient light emission properties. Here quantum effects are exploited to fabricate optically …

In this article we describe the fabrication of free standing n-type porous silicon microcavity
(MC) and their properties as liquid sensors. We have optimized the etching recipe to keep …

Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization method with
widespread analytical applications. One of its limits is the spurious signal in the low mass …
