There is a wide application prospect in black silicon, especially in solar cells and photoelectric detectors. For further optimization of black silicon, it is important to study its optical properties. Especially, the influence of the surface nanostructures on these properties and the light propagation within the nanostructures are relevant. In this paper, two kinds of black silicon models are studied via the finite differences time domain method. The simulated reflectance spectra matches well with the measured curve. Also, the light intensity distribution within the nanostructures shows that near 80% of the incident light are redirected and subjected to internal reflection, which provides powerful support for the good light trapping properties of black silicon.
