Controlling the spontaneous emission from semiconductor quantum dots by optical microcavities is important for many applications [1] such as microlasers and single-photon sources. Starting from a fully quantum mechanical theory for the microscopic dynamics of photons, electrons and holes in the coupled system of quantum dots, wetting layer, and microcavity we study the spontaneous emission dynamics. Numerical simulations for (In,Ga)As quantum dots embedded in a three-dimensional micropillar cavity show an enhancement of spontaneous emission due to the Purcell effect as the pillar diameter is varied from 6 to 2 micrometer. The computed time-resolved photoluminescence intensity shows a clear nonexponential decay in agreement with experimental data.
