SILICON-BASED ORGANIC-INORGANIC MICROCAVITY AND ITS DISPERSION CURVE FROM ANGLE-RESOLVED PHOTOLUMINESCENCE

We report an experimental study of a planar organic-inorganic microcavity consisting of a porous silicon distributed Bragg reflector, a single layer of acridina orange as active material and a top aluminum reflector. By tuning the cavity resonance energy around the maximum of the organic material photoluminescence, we found an intense emission and a spectral narrowing of the emission band to about 45 meV. The angle-resolved photoluminescence spectra enable us to determine the microcavity dispersion curve. The very good agreement with the theoretical dispersion provides a precise determination of the refractive index of the organic material.
