Effects of embedded low-dimensional materials on resonant mode of distributed Bragg reflector cavity

Low-dimensional material embedded cavities have been widely used in nano-lasers and detectors etc. The effects of embedded materials on the cavity resonant mode need to be intensively studied for achieving the efficient coupling between the gain material and the cavity. The influences of embedded material thickness and position, cavity layer thickness and the number of distributed Bragg reflector pairs on the cavity resonant mode are discussed in this work. Results show that the cavity resonant mode changes periodically with different embedded positions and there is a maximum peak shift within a period of λ/2 optical path. The maximum peak shift decreases with increasing cavity thickness and is proportional to the embedded material thickness. The number of distributed Bragg reflector pairs does not affect the cavity resonant mode. These results provide guidance on the optical device design and the analysis of experimental phenomena, which can be applied to different wavelength ranges of distributed Bragg reflector cavity structures.
