Scientific expertise |
The research undertaken throughout the career of PhD Luisina Forzani has been centered on the fabrication and characterization of physical properties of nanostructured porous materials and composite nanomaterials. One of her most notable investigations was the hybrid optical microcavities based on porous alumina and 1D photonic crystals of porous silicon. She envisioned a new approach where minimizing the porous alumina layer roughness was crucial to attain large Q factors and use these hybrid microcavities as high-sensitivity optical sensors. This study led to two results: the first hybrid microcavity of porous silicon and porous alumina with Q-factor around 650 nm in the VISIBLE range, and the determination of the origin of the optical anisotropy of the porous alumina membranes. She specialized in numerical techniques to design and optimize porous silicon opto-acoustic devices with applications such as biosensors, gas sensors, and devices for characterizing optical, mechanical, and rheological properties of materials. She studied and optimized their performance within experimental constraints to enhance sensitivity to environmental changes. |
