Abstract

Spontaneous emission characteristics of self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots were investigated. Results were obtained from a three-dimensional quasi-mode analysis of the photonic-crystal microcavity and through calculations of energy levels and eigenstates for electrons and holes in self-organized quantum dots. The spontaneous emission rate from quantum dots is significantly enhanced by up to a factor of 14, compared to that in free space.
