From photonic dots to photonic crystals-Status and potential ofsemiconductor systems with taylored photonic states

摘要

We review the status of current realizations of photonic band gapsystems for the optical wavelength range. Furthermore results of anapproach developed by us based on the controlled combination ofelementary cells with 3D photonic confinement (photonic dots) will bepresented. We have investigated size confinement and interaction effectsof optical modes in InGaAs/(Al)GaAs microcavities with dimensionaloptical confinement (photonic dots)
