ZnO-Based Microcavities Sculpted by Focus Ion Beam Milling

چکیده
We reported an easy fabrication method to realize ZnO-based microcavities with various cavity shapes by focused ion beam (FIB) milling. The optical characteristics of different shaped microcavities have been systematically carried out and analyzed. Through comprehensive studies of cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence spectra, the whispering gallery mode (WGM) was observed in different shaped microcavities. Up further increasing excitation, the lasing action was dominated by these WGMs and matched very well to the simulated results. Our experiment shows that ZnO microcavities with different shapes can be made with high quality by FIB milling for specific applications of microlight sources and optical devices.

Colloidal ZnO quantum dots in ultraviolet pillar microcavities.
Three dimensional light confinement and distinct pillar microcavity modes in the ultraviolet have been observed in pillar resonators with embedded colloidal ZnO quantum dots fabricated by focused ion beam milling. Results from a waveguide model for the mode patterns and their spectral positions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is an emerging technology that enables fast, reliable and well-controlled nanometer-size feature definition. Since the method involves physical removal of material by a beam of ions, the technique can be adapted and optimized almost for any material system. Recently we have reported on an optimized approach of FIB nano-structuring, which enabled patterning of DBR ...
متن کاملA technique for the preparation of cross-sectional TEM samples of ZnSe/GaAs heterostructures which eliminates process-induced defects.
Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample preparation of ZnSe/GaAs epitaxial films is investigated. Conventional argon ion milling is shown to produce a high density (approximately 5-8 x 10(11)/cm2) of small (diameter approximately 60-80 A) extended defects (stacking faults, microtwins, double positioning twins, etc.). In addition, transmission electron diffraction results i...
متن کاملArrays of Metal Nanostructures Produced by Focussed Ion Beam
We present a study of the magnetic properties of arrays of nanostructures produced in a focussed ion beam–scanning electron microscope dual beam system. The single magnetic units have been isolated either by direct removal of parts of the metallic film or by local modification of the film magnetic properties. The final quality of the shape and the residual damage strictly depend on beam paramet...
