Paper Abstract

We describe an investigation of the polarimetric properties of suspended gallium doped silicon (Si:Ga) nanowires. Wire fabrication has been done with a combined gallium implantation (using a focused ion beam) and subsequent reactive ion and wet etches. A polarimetric microscope has been built and calibrated. Measurement of the polarimetric response shows a high reflectivity and strong retardance on reflection, with some samples showing low diattenuation, in contrast to conventional wire grid polarizers.
