Abstract

Recent progress in microfabrication involving etching processes makes it possible to engineer 3-D nanostructures from MBE-grown planar Fabry-Perot microcavities. Here the optical mode is confined laterally by implementing a thin dielectric (native oxide) aperture layer on top of the cavity spacer. The sample under investigation consists of a 16 period GaAs/A1As bottom mirror, a λ GaAs spacer, and a 4-period ZnSe/MgF2 dielectric mirror on top of the oxide aperture. The aperture diameters range from 1 to 7 μm. A high-quality 85 angstrom InGaAs single quantum well is located in the anti-node of the spacer.
