Abstract
We report the fabrication of a one-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity via co-evaporation with electron beam/thermal evaporation process, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first rare-earth doped one-dimensional photonic crystal based on chalcogenide/fluoride thin films. The microcavity was made of a half-wave dysprosium doped Ga2Se3 layer sandwiched between two embedded Ga2Se3/YF3 distributed Bragg reflectors. Near infrared transmittance spectra indicated that the stopband region from 1090 nm to 1515 nm was formed and a cavity resonance centered at 1342 nm. A cavity quality factor of 153 was achieved resulting in a 53-fold enhancement in spontaneous emission intensity. This photonic crystal microcavity configuration offers a new route to mid-wavelength and long-wavelength infrared fluorescence enhancement, which has attracted considerable interest for potential applications, such as fluorescence-based imaging and biomedical sensing.
