Site-controlled single quantum wire integrated into a photonic-crystal membrane microcavity

Integration of a site-controlled semiconductor V-groove quantum wire (QWR) into a photonic-crystal (PhC) membrane microcavity is reported. Reproducible coupling of the QWR emission to a mode of the PhC cavity is evidenced by the narrower linewidth, higher intensity, and variation with temperature an...

Description
Summary:Integration of a site-controlled semiconductor V-groove quantum wire (QWR) into a photonic-crystal (PhC) membrane microcavity is reported. Reproducible coupling of the QWR emission to a mode of the PhC cavity is evidenced by the narrower linewidth, higher intensity, and variation with temperature and PhC parameters of the QWR line. Finite difference time domain simulations of the cavity are employed for identifying the observed mode. The presented PhC-QWR coupled structures are promising for achieving very low-threshold lasers and for studies of one-dimensional photon-exciton coupled systems.
