Abstract

Various types of smart dust based on photonic crystal exhibiting unique reflectivity were successfully obtained by an electrochemical etching of silicon wafer using square wave currents. Smart dust containing Bragg structure obtained from the sonication of DBR porous silicon film in solution retained its optical reflectivity. Field emission scanning electron micrograph (FE-SEM) was used to measure the size of optically encoded smart dust and its size can be tuned from few hundred nanometers to few microns depending on the duration of sonication. Optical characteristics of smart dust were used to investigate a possible applications such as chemical sensors.
