Abstract
We investigate the inhibited spontaneous emission of telecom-band InAs quantum disks (Qdisks) in InP nanowires (NWs). We have evaluated how the inhibition is affected by different disk diameter and thickness. We also compared the inhibition in standing InP NWs and those NWs laying on silica (SiO(2)), and silicon (Si) substrates. We found that the inhibition is altered when we put the NW on the high-refractive-index materials of Si. Experimentally, the inhibition factor ζ of the Qdisk emission at 1,500 nm decreases from 4.6 to 2.5 for NW on SiO(2) and Si substrates, respectively. Those inhibitions are even much smaller than that of 6.4 of the standing NW. The inhibition factors well agree with those calculated from the coupling of the Qdisk to the fundamental guided mode and the continuum of radiative modes. Our observation can be useful for the integration of the NW as light sources in the photonic nanodevices.
