Abstract

In regard to achieve a vertical surface-emitting laser with quantum dots as active medium, we have realized a microcavity consisting of two distributed Bragg reflectors and three layers of self-assembled InAs quantum dots and a similar sample without DBRs for comparison. The electroluminescence of the sample without cavity is rather broad due to size fluctuations of the islands, whereas the electroluminescence of the cavity sample is dominated by a narrow (FWHM 0.38 meV) and intense line at the resonance energy of the cavity. Several transverse modes are observed due to the wave-guiding effect of the etched mesa and identified by a simple model.
