Abstract

Using focused ion beam etching techniques, micropillar cavities were fabricated from a high reflective AlAs/AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflector planar cavity containing self-assembled InP quantum dots in (Al0.20Ga0.80)0.51In0.49P barrier layers. The mode spectra of pillars with different diameters were investigated using micro-photoluminescence, showing excellent agreement with theory. Quality factors of the pillar cavities up to 3650 were observed. Furthermore, for a microcavity pillar with 1.26 µm diameter, single-photon emission is demonstrated by performing photon correlation measurements under pulsed excitation.

(Color online) (a) Micro-photoluminescence spectrum of a micropillar with a radius of 2.1 µm. The vertical lines display the calculated energies of the transverse modes, showing excellent agreement with the measurement. (b) Calculated radius dependency (straight curves) of the first six higher transverse modes and measured mode energies (circles). The inset is showing the obtained quality factors (triangles) and the theoretical behavior (straight curve).

(Color online) Normalized micro-PL spectra of a microresonator pillar with a diameter of 1.26 µm excited with around 300 Wcm−2 (upper spectrum) and around 40 Wcm−2 (lower spectrum) at 4 K. The vertical lines display the calculated energies of the transverse modes, while the dashed rectangle marks the background contribution (B). The autocorrelation measurement (inset) showing the highly non-classical light statistic, was performed with around 375 Wcm−2 for shorter integration times.

(Color online) (a) Temperature dependent spectra of a micropillar with 1.26 µm diameter. The dashed vertical lines are guides to the eye and mark the positions of the higher transverse modes. The redshift of the emission energy of the fundamental mode (circles) is compared with the behavior of a typical QD in (Al0.20Ga0.80)0.51In0.49P barrier layers without cavity (triangles), showing an identical shift. In (c) the integrated intensities of the fundamental mode is shown.
