Pillar microcavities containing quantum dots (QDs) represent an excellent tool for exploring and enhancing effects due to the light-matter interaction in semiconductor structures. We present results prooving a significant improvement of the control over the spontaneous emission of CdTe/ZnTe QDs by means of an all-epitaxial ZnTe-based pillar cavity.
We investigated QD’s excitonic emission near resonance with the fundamental micropillar cavity mode. Temperature variation of the detuning between the exciton energy and the cavity mode was performed and a significant shortening of the decay time for the QD state was found at zero-detuning. A Purcell factor over 5 was determined and confirmed by the extended transfer matrix method calculations.
