Functionalization control of porous silicon optical structures using reflectance spectra modeling for biosensing applications

TL;DR: In this article, the volume fraction of the biomolecules attached to the internal pore surface is determined by modeling and experimental reflectance spectra of porous silicon single layers at different steps of functionalization and protein grafting.
