We have grown planar and cylindrical microresonators by means of pulsed laser deposition containing as active medium a half wavelength ZnO-cavity and free-standing ZnO-nanopillars with diameters of (50−500) nm and (5−10) µm in length, respectively. These cavities are embedded between two all-oxide Bragg reflectors (BR) respective coated with coaxial BR made of quarter-wave stacks of yttria stabilised zirconia (YSZ) and Al2O3. Atomic force microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy show very smooth interfaces for the planar BR (average roughness Ra=1 nm). For the cylindrical BR we have reached excellent quality of lateral and longitudinal homogeneous layers around the ZnO-nanopillars.
Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and reflectivity (R) measurements have revealed the planar resonator to be in the strong coupling regime up to 410 K with a maximum Rabi splitting of the polariton branches of about 90 meV (PL) and 95 meV (R) at 10 K. Room-temperature spatially resolved PL and R spectra of the coated nanopillars show structures related to exciton-polariton branches in photonic wires.
