La. Graham et al., EXCITON SPECTRAL SPLITTING NEAR ROOM-TEMPERATURE FROM HIGH-CONTRAST SEMICONDUCTOR MICROCAVITIES, Applied physics letters, 70(7), 1997, pp. 814-816
Spectral splitting due to the exciton response of a three InGaAs quant
um well active region placed in various high contrast semiconductor mi
crocavities is observed near room temperature. The planar microcavitie
s consist of one-wavelength thick cavity spacers surrounded by AlGaAs/
CaAs along with high contrast distributed Bragg reflectors formed from
AlxOy/GaAs and MgF/ZnSe. Microcavities having different loss rates ar
e characterized over a range of temperatures using reflectance, transm
ission, and photoluminescence. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
