OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF A ZNSSE MICROCAVITY FABRICATED BY EPITAXIAL LIFT-OFF

We have fabricated and studied the optical properties of a planar II-V I ZnSSe microcavity. The MBE grown II-VI epi-layers were subsequently transplanted onto a metal coated GaAs substrate using the epitaxial li ft-off technique. Comparison of the emission from the processed (micro cavity) and unprocessed (non-microcavity) samples show evidence of spe ctral filtering and modified directionality which are due to the actio n of the cavity on the quantum well emission. Reflectance spectra conf irm the Fabry-Perot resonance and exciton feature are in the same spec tral region. These results show that II-VI microcavities can be achiev ed using lift-off techniques.
