We compare the quality factor values of the whispery gallery modes of microdisks incorporating GaN quantum dots (QDs) grown on AlN and AlGaN barriers by performing room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL measurements show a large number of high Q factor (Q) resonant modes on the whole spectrum which allows us to identify...

We report the observation of high quality (Q) factor whispering gallery modes for GaN/AlN quantum dot based microdisks. Room temperature photoluminescence measurements show a large number of high Q modes on the whole PL spectral range. For the first time we report Q values up to 6000 for nitride based cavities. We attribute this improvement of...

An original method to fabricate III-nitride photonic crystal membranes without etching of III-N materials is reported. A photonic crystal pattern is first realized in a silicon substrate. GaN quantum dots embedded in a thin AlN layer are then grown by conformal epitaxy using ammonia-based molecular beam epitaxy on the top of the patterned...

We present a spectroscopic study of nanocavities obtained by small modifications of a W1 waveguide in an AlN photonic crystal membrane. The AlN film containing GaN quantum dots is grown on silicon. The photonic crystal structure is defined by e-beam lithography and etched by inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching, while the membrane is...

We fabricated GaN-based hollow nanowires standing upright on a sapphire substrate by the sublimation method and found that they exhibit laser oscillation at room temperature. These very long, hollow, nanosized structures cannot be fabricated by other means. Furthermore, we determined the condition under which the fundamental mode is azimuthally...

We report the realization and the optical study of nitridephotonic resonators dedicated to the blue and UV spectralrange. Microdisks and photonic crystal (PC) cavities areinvestigated containing GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs)embedded in an AlN waveguide. The PC cavities are fabricatedthrough the conformal growth of nitrides on a patterned...
