Abstract

The principles and applications of controlled spontaneous emission in semiconductor microcavities are reviewed. The coupling efficiency of spontaneous emission into a lasing mode and the spontaneous emission rate can be modified by various microcavity structures. By increasing the coupling efficiency, semiconductor lasers with a very low threshold current, and semiconductors lasers and light emitting diodes with a high quantum efficiency, broad modulation bandwidth and low noise are expected.
