Cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) in high quality quantum dot (QD) microcavities has been subject of extensive research interest in recent years. This includes the study of fundamental cavity effects in the weak and strong coupling regime as well as their application in non-classical light sources. Here, we present an advanced optical characterization method to obtain comprehensive insight into the relevant cQED effects in QD-micropillar cavities. In contrast to conventional approaches in which the micropillar is addressed only in axial direction via its top facet, we implement additionally an in-plane excitation and detection scheme. In this unique configuration, excitation and detection capabilities are available synchronously in the axial and in-plane direction which opens up appealing opportunities for a broad study of cQED effects. For instance, it allows one to investigate the interplay between coupling emission from the QDs into resonator modes and leaky modes, respectively. Indeed, we demonstrate a cQED-controlled anti-correlation between single-QD emission through the top facet via resonator modes and emission through the side-walls via leaky modes.
