Abstract :
A brief discussion of recent work on confined photon modes in semiconductor microcavities is given with an emphasis on comparison between experimental and theoretical results for these systems. Discrete photon modes whose energies increase with decreasing cavity size are observed in single lithographically structured semiconductor microcavities. Coupled pairs of microcavities show a rich pattern of modes analogous to the bonding and antibonding electronic states of molecules. Chains of microcavities exhibit photon band gaps out to the fourth Brillouin zone edge of the chains.
