Abstract

The measurements in hexagonal photonic bandgap (PBG) microcavities that have areas between 2.0 and 8.6 μm2 are presented. The 2D triangular lattice PBG mirrors are etched into a GaAs/AlGaAs waveguide heterostructure with three layers of InAs quantum dots at the center of a 240 nm thick GaAs core. The experimental principle follows closely the photoluminescence of the InAs dots internally probes the cavity resonances and the small fraction of light that is scattered into air is collected and fed to an optical multichannel analyzers.
