Circularly-Polarized Light Emission from Semiconductor Planar Chiral Photonic Crystal
arXiv:1002.0044 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.057402
Abstract
We proposed and demonstrated a scheme of surface emitting circularly polarized light source by introducing strong imbalance between left- and right-circularly polarized vacuum fields in an on-waveguide chiral grating structure. We observed circularly polarized spontaneous emission from InAs quantum dots embedded in the wave guide region of a GaAs-based structure. Obtained degree of polarization reaches as large as 25% at room temperature. Numerical calculation visualizes spatial profiles of the modification of vacuum field modes inside the structure with strong circular anisotropy.
