Abstract

Data are presented on modified spontaneous emission rates in quantum dot microcavity arrays. Three-dimensional optical confinement is achieved using apertured microcavities with square aperture sizes varied from 5 to 1 μm on a side. A maximum measured increase in the on-resonance spontaneous emission rate over that off resonance is ∼50%, and we identify this enhancement with apertured modes of the microcavity. Oscillations in the spontaneous emission rate versus wavelength correspond to spectral resonances in the higher order aperture modes.
