Abstract
Enhanced spontaneous emission has been observed with wavelength‐sized monolithic Fabry–Perot cavities containing GaAs quantum wells. With an on‐resonance cavity structure, the photoluminescence intensity increases in the cavity axis direction, and the spontaneous emission lifetime is experimentally found to decrease.Keywords
