Abstract

The use of two-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) structures as mirrors for in-plane microcavities, refining previous results for longer 3 μm cavities, is demonstrated. These structures are in-plane versions of popular vertical microcavities. PBG structures are etched into a GaAs/AlGaAs laser-like heterostructure embedded with self-organized quantum dots (QD). The use of QDs gives a stronger photoluminescence (PL) signal in the presence of etched features and a broad PL probe. The PBG parameters are chosen to avoid in-plane diffraction. The cavity spacings vary between 40 and 400 nm and are chosen to investigate the dependence of the resonance wavelength on cavity spacing.
