Abstract
In this work, we have developed a simple GaN-based microcavity (MC) with an intracavity shallow etched mesa. The textured GaN-based MC incorporated two high-reflectivity dielectric Bragg mirrors and an InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well with a shallow etched mesa as an optical confined structure. Lasing and transverse optical confinement characteristics have been verified by measuring devices with different mesa diameters. A quality factor (Q) of 2600 and a threshold energy of 30 nJ have been observed in a 10-µm-diameter device. Such a cavity structure could be implanted into electrically pumped GaN vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers for supporting efficient transverse confinement.
