摘要
The authors have demonstrated an up to sevenfold enhancement of photoluminescence from silicon-rich silicon nitride film due to a single photonic crystal cavity. The enhancement is partially attributed to the Purcell effect [Purcell, Phys. Rev. 69, 681 (1946)], which is predicted to be up to 35-fold by finite difference time-domain calculations for emitters spectrally and spatially aligned with the electric field. Experimentally measured cavity quality factors vary in the range of 200-300, showing excellent agreement with calculations. The emission peak can be tuned to any wavelength in the 600-800 nm range.
