Far-field emission profiles from L3 photonic crystal cavity modes
We experimentally characterize the spatial far-field emission profiles for
the two lowest confined modes of a photonic crystal cavity of the L3 type,
finding a good agreement with FDTD simulations. We then link the far-field
profiles to relevant features of the cavity mode near-fields, using a simple
Fabry-Perot resonator model. The effect of disorder on far-field cavity
profiles is clarified through comparison between experiments and simulations.
These results can be useful for emission engineering from active centers
embedded in the cavity.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
