Abstract
Microcavities have been extensively studied over the past several decades.1,2 The motivations for such studies range from the most fundamental to the very applied. Microcavities have been useful in clarifying some fundamental problem in electrodynamics such as the effect of vacuum field fluctuations on an emitting dipole.3,4 Microcavity-based devices have been suggested for display applications5 and in enhancing the efficiency of conventional light-emitting diodes.6,7,8,9 Microcavity LEDs based on III-N semiconductors have been proposed as sources for optical communication systems.7,9 This interest has led to numerous contributions, both theoretical and experimental, that have considerably enhanced our understanding of the optical processes in microcavities. We need to point out that there are many types of microcavities and some of the more technologically important ones are described in the following section. In most of this chapter, we will be concerned with the properties and applications of one microcavity type: planar microcavities, often simply referred to as “microcavities.”
