摘要
The authors study the quality factor Q of the x-dipole mode in single missing hole defect photonic crystal microcavities in InAs/InP quantum dot membranes as a function of the structural design parameters. Photoluminescence experiments show an optimized Q in excess of 28 000 for a wavelength close to lambda=1550 nm. This is to be compared with a Q of 57 000 determined by finite difference time domain calculations. The fabrication tolerances necessary to achieve experimental Q values close to those predicted by theory are identified. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
