Aluminum nitride photonic crystals and microdiscs for ultra-violet nanophotonics - IOPscience

摘要

Processing of group III-nitride materials such as AlN in the form of photonic crystals or microdiscs opens new perspectives for basic cavity quantum electrodynamic studies or the development of novel devices operating in the ultra-violet range. These devices can be either passive or active by embedding self-assembled GaN quantum dots. We review the recent progress achieved in the field of nitride-based microresonators for UV nanophotonics.
