ZnS films were deposited on porous Si(PS) substrates using a pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique. White light emission is observed in photoluminescence(PL) spectra,and the white light is the combination of blue and green emission from ZnS and red emission from PS.The white PL spectra are broad,intense in a visible band ranging from 450 to 700 nm.The effects of the excitation wavelength,growth temperature of ZnS films,PS porosity and annealing temperature on the PL spectra of ZnS/PS were also investigated.
