The considerable storage of light in whispering gallery modes (WGM) being favored in microdisk resonators is necessary to achieve low-threshold lasing [1]. It is furthermore an interesting aspect for the use of these resonators in several quantum optical applications where emission centers inside the disk act as single-photon sources or spin-qubits, like quantum memories [2].
We will show micro-photoluminescence (µPL) spectra of WGMs from ZnSe-based quantum well microdisks with diameters in the range of 2.5 to 4 µm and relate their optical properties to structural properties obtained from the analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the disks. We discuss that recutting the disks with a focused ion beam (FIB) can reduce the roughness of their edges and thus lead to better optical quality, i.e. increased light containment.
