摘要
Spontaneous emission characteristics from apertured microcavities are studied using quantum-dot light emitters. Spatial averaging over the emitter positions within the apertures significantly impacts the measured lifetime changes, but lifetime changes due to the aperture modes are still readily observed. A maximum increase of a factor of similar to 2.5 over the cavity-free emission rate is measured. We argue that, for a narrow bandwidth emitter, the microcavity enhancement ran lead to nearly-single-mode and high-speed operation even in the spontaneous regime.
