All-Epitaxial Quantum Dot Microcavities for VCSELs and Single Photon Sources

Summary form only given. Self-organized quantum dots (QDs) offer unique opportunities to realize new types of semiconductor lasers and spontaneous light sources. One of the more interesting and potentially important is their use in microcavities. In this paper the authors describe experimental data based on incorporating self-organized QDs in a new type of all-epitaxial microcavity that can form a buried heterostructure vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), and a special type of self-centered single QD microcavity light source
