Abstract
Quantum microcavity structures with mono-lithically integrated distributed-Bragg reflectors such as mirrors (DBRs) and quantum wells (QWs) as cavity material offer a unique possibility to reach (quasi-) thresholdless lasers.1 Similar structures are also widely used as electro-optic modulators2 (so-called asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulators (AFPM) and as nonlinear optical etalons for optical bistability.3 To our knowledge, however, no detailed study of the perturbation of the optical mode of the Fabry-Perot cavity by the optically active quantum well medium (due to absorption and/or dispersion) has been made.
