摘要: Using the thermal decomposition technique, non-polar III-nitride air-gap distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) microcavities (MCs) with a single quantum well have been fabricated. Atomic force microscopy reveals locally smooth DBR surface, and room-temperature micro-photoluminescence measurements show cavity modes. There are two modes per due to optical birefringence in MCs, systematic mode shift thickness was also observed. Although structures consist of only 3 periods (top) 4 (bottom), quality factor 1600 (very close theoretical value 2100) high MCs.
