Abstract
Data are presented characterizing the spontaneous coupling to both pla nar and index-confined quasimodes of Fabry-Perot microcavities. Index confinement is achieved using selective conversion of AlAs-AlxOy throu gh ''wet'' oxidation to fabricate lateral cavity sizes as small as 2 m u m diam. Spectral tuning and angular radiation patterns show the incr eased spontaneous coupling that results from three-dimensional confine ment. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
