Optical properties of semiconductor microcavity pillars — •J. Wiersig1, N. Baer1, P. Gartner1, F. Jahnke1, M. Benyoucef2, S.M. Ulrich2 und P. Michler2 — 1Universität Bremen — 2Universität Stuttgart
A recent experiment demonstrated the generation of triggered photon pairs due to cascaded biexciton-exciton emission from a single InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot in a cylindrical micropillar [1]. Such experiments are based on the altered spontaneous emission of carriers in the microcavity as well as on the selection of optical transitions by the resonator. Within a detailed theory-experiment comparison we study optical modes and the resulting emission properties in micropillars with decreasing diameter. Calculations of the electromagnetic mode structure are based on two alternative methods: direct solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the electromagnetic vector field, and a generalized vectorial transfer matrix approach.
