We observe a blue shift of the porous silicon photoluminescence peak w
ith decreasing temperature in the range 305-180 K. Further, we study t
wo-photon absorption (TPA) in porous silicon at 300 K through the lumi
nescence excitation spectrum. The TPA shows an exponential tail with o
nset at 2hnu approximately 2.4 eV. This shape can be ascribed to poten
tial fluctuations.
