Abstracts

We report on a two-step etching of ZnTe based micropillars. We demonstrate applicability of the technology and we analyze the optical properties of obtained structures. Microphotoluminescence spectra of individual micropillars show a typical mode pattern that confirms a successful growth of photonic structures. The reflectivity and photoluminescence spectra of a planar microcavity measured for various incident angles show that additional side distributed Bragg reflectors will be important for the further enhancement of photon confinement in micropillar cavity.
