In this report we present recombination dynamics of nonequilibrium carriers in InAs-quantum dots embedded in a No-dqtilted-modeNo-dq cavity. All epitaxial structure is based on a resonantly coupled planar waveguide and a multilayer interference reflector. In accordance with the theoretical prediction, the radiative recombination rate increases when the emission wavelenght corresponds to the tilted cavity waveguide mode whereas the off-resonance emission is suppressed. This effect has similar nature as the Purcell effect. Time-resolved photoluminescence studies indeed pointed out that the recombination dynamics is affected by the coupling of photons to the tilted-mode cavity. We found out that the radiative lifetime of carriers whose transition energy is in resonance to a tilted cavity waveguide mode is reduced by a factor of 1,5. The resonant wavelenght can be tuned by the design of the multilayer waveguide structure and it shows only a weak temperature dependence compared to the band gap temperature shift. This approach is promising for the realisation of highly-efficient wavelenght-stabilised LED’s and lasers.
