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.
We report MBE growth and properties of samples with self assembled quantum dots with single manganese ions and low density of quantum dots. Manganese concentration was calibrated using magneto-reflectivity measurements and the giant Zeeman effect in (Cd,Mn)Te and (Zn,Mn)Te layers. Successful incorporation of Mn in the CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots was confirmed using micro-photoluminescence measurements: single manganese ion in quantum dot manifests in sixfold splitting of exciton emission lines due to s, p-d exchange interaction.
