Splitting and lasing of whispering gallery modes in quantum dot micropillars.
The paper revealed and attempted to explain the existence and structure of “multiplet” optical whispering gallery modes in microscopic GaAs-AlGaAs Bragg pillars containing a central layer of InAs self-assemble quantum dots as emission sources. It contributed to the design and understanding of subsequent, related optoelectronic devices where similar multiplets have arisen –often to the surprise of their investigators. These devices include low-threshold lasers, single-photon sources and sources of THz radiation such as those developed through the EU-funded TREASURE (THz Room-Temperature Integrated Parametric Source) consortium; http://www.treasure-project.eu/.
