Abstract
The principles and applications of controlled spontaneous emission in semiconductor microcavities are reviewed. The coupling efficiency of s pontaneous emission into a lasing mode and the spontaneous emission ra te can be modified by various microcavity structures. By increasing th e coupling efficiency, semiconductor lasers with a very low threshold current, and semiconductors lasers and light emitting diodes with a hi gh quantum efficiency, broad modulation bandwidth and low noise are ex pected.
