Abstract

Polarization memory effect in the porous Si photoluminescence is studied. The anisotropy of the linear polarization degree is found in the samples etched with polarized light-assistance. The effect is explained by the anisotropie in plane distribution of the elongated Si crystallites. Under resonant optical excitation four-fold anisotropy of the photoluminescence polarization, linked to the crystalline axes of the bulk Si substrate, is observed.
