We report a study of the quantum dot emission in short photonic crystal waveguides. We observe that the quantum dot photoluminescence intensity and decay rate are strongly enhanced when the emission energy is in resonance with Fabry-Perot cavity modes in the slow-light regime of the dispersion curve. The experimental results are in agreement with previous theoretical predictions and further supported by three-dimensional finite element simulation. Our results show that the combination of slow group velocity and Fabry-Perot cavity resonance provides an avenue to efficiently channel photons from quantum dots into waveguides for integrated quantum photonic applications.
We report a study of single quantum dots inside photonic crystal cavities with a low-temperature scanning near-field optical microscope. The spatial maps of single excitonic lines from the quantum dot show the clear signature of coupling to the cavity modes for small detunings. We also show that the near-field tip can be used to control the exciton-photon coupling at the nanoscale. A general framework for the interpretation of near-field maps of single emitters in cavities is proposed.
