Propagation Loss Measurements in Semiconductor Microcavity Ring and Disk Resonators

چکیده
We report the measurement of cavity propagation losses in nearly single-mode semiconductor waveguide-coupled ring and disk microcavity optical resonators. Using a novel 10.5m-diameter ring resonator, we measure transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) field intensity losses in 0.35m-wide ring waveguide cavities in the 1.55m-wavelength region. We present the experimental results for nanofabricated AlGaAs/GaAs 10.5m-diameter ring and disk resonators to quantify cavity losses and to show the feasibility of these promising and robust submicron-scale devices.

FDTD Microcavity Simulations: Design and Experimental Realization of Waveguide-Coupled Single-Mode Ring and Whispering-Gallery-Mode Disk Resonators
We investigate the properties of high-Q, wide freespectral-range semiconductor microcavity ring and disk resonators coupled to submicron-width waveguides. Key optical design parameters are characterized using finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) solutions of the full-wave Maxwell’s equations. We report coupling efficiencies and resonant frequencies that include the effects of waveguide dispersio...

متن کاملStatistics of Exciton Emission in a Semiconductor Microcavity: Detuning and Exciton-Exciton Effects
We consider the interaction of quantum light with an ideal semiconductor microcavity. We investigate photon statistics in different conditions and the presence of detuning and exciton-exciton interaction. We show that in the resonant interaction and absence of the exciton-exciton interaction, the state of the whole system can be considered as coherent state. According to our results, it turns...
متن کاملAdvances in III-Nitride Microstructures and Micro-Size Emitters
This paper summarizes some of the recent advances in III-nitride microstructures and micro-size emitters made by the author’s group. Microstructures discussed include micro-size disk, ring, and pyramid structures. Optical mode behaviors in these microcavities were probed by optical pumping and measuring the photoluminescence (PL) emission from individual cavities. It was found that the microdis...
