Abstract

In one-dimensional distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) used as microcavity reflectors, the photon density-of-states is reduced only in a vertical cone, a small fraction of the 4π steradian solid angle, leaving all the spontaneous emission in guide modes unaffected. To control these guided modes, in-plane photonic bandgap (PBG) structures in one and two-dimensions must be implemented, with only the latter kind suppressing propagative photon modes in all in-plane directions. Crucial factors in evaluating possible options and progressing towards design rules for inplane microcavities are presented.
