For nearly 20 years, progress in the field of photonic crystals has greatly benefited from analogies to semiconductor physics and devices. Here we implement the concept of photonic crystal heterojunction and heterostructures, analogues to the concept of the semiconductor heterostructure, and demonstrate devices based on this concept operating in the optical range of frequency spectrum. In particular, we examine the effect of confinement of the photonic envelope wavefunction in a two-dimensional photonic heterostructure quantum well implemented with quasi-periodic array of vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) as a model system.
近20年来，光子晶体领域的进展极大地受益于与半导体物理及器件的类比。在此，我们实现了光子晶体异质结和异质结构的概念，它类似于半导体异质结构的概念，并展示了基于这一概念且在光学频谱范围内工作的器件。特别地，我们以垂直腔面发射激光器（VCSEL）的准周期阵列实现的二维光子异质结构量子阱为模型系统，研究光子包络波函数的限制效应。
