Résumé
We report the observation of high quality (Q) factor whispering gallery modes for GaN/AlN quantum dot based microdisks. Room temperature photoluminescence measurements show a large number of high Q modes on the whole PL spectral range. For the first time we report Q values up to 6000 for nitride based cavities. We attribute this improvement of the Q factor to the etching quality and to the relatively low cavity loss by inserting dots into the microdisks. The uniformity of the resonant modes with respect to a wide range of energies allows us to identify the different radial mode families.
