Abstract

We have investigated the design parameters for high-Q photonic-crystal (PC) bandgap modes in the emission wavelengths of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells. We demonstrate experimental schemes to realize 2D triangular-lattice PC membrane structures, which is essential to obtain photonic bandgap (PBG) modes, and the optical properties of L7 membrane nanocavities that consist of seven missing holes in the Γ-K direction. L7 cavities show pronounced resonances with Q factors of 300 to 800 in the PBG as well as the enhancement of light extraction of the broad InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well emission by the 2D PBG.
