Colloidal ZnO quantum dots in ultraviolet pillar microcavities

Opt Express. 2008 Jun 23;16(13):9791-4. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.009791.

Abstract

Three dimensional light confinement and distinct pillar microcavity modes in the ultraviolet have been observed in pillar resonators with embedded colloidal ZnO quantum dots fabricated by focused ion beam milling. Results from a waveguide model for the mode patterns and their spectral positions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
