Abstract

We demonstrate a method for control of the polarization of emission of quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an active layer of a planar microcavity. This method involves a modification of the electromagnetic mode structure in a planar microcavity which is achieved by fabrication of a chiral gammadion layer structure with partial etching of the upper Bragg mirror. A polarization degree as high as 81% has been demonstrated experimentally without the use of a static magnetic field or birefringent wave plates; this is in full agreement with the theoretical simulations for the fabricated structure. Theoretical optimization has shown that a polarization degree of up to 99% can be achieved in optimized structures with randomly positioned quantum dots, and to an even higher degree when the QDs have controlled positions.
