An analytical approach to the calculation of the spontaneous emission of a quantum dot or other "active area" embedded into a spherical Bragg microcavity has been developed. Spontaneous emission spectra have been calculated.

β¦ Synopsis
A vertical microcavity laser structure with an active layer of Stranski-Krastanow quantum dots was fabricated for the first time. The microcavity consists of an InGaAs quantum dot layer grown by MOCVD, located between two A1As/Alo.2Gao.sAs distributed Bragg-reflector mirrors. The length of the microcavity was 42(2 = 884 nm). The cavity effect was evidenced by the difference of the PL linewidths of samples with and without the cavity.

We developed a new scheme using modulated stacking of self-assembled InAs QDs on InP(3 1 1)B substrates with strain compensation to fabricate QDs in order to expand the potential bandwidths of QD active regions. A highly stacked QD structure was fabricated by the strain-compensation technique with n
