Near and far field observation of optical confinement in non-destructive fabricated organic photonic dots

We investigate the optical properties of laterally confined organic microcavities. For preparation, a shadow mask deposition technique is used, which results in laterally shaped organic dots with micrometer size as the cavity layer. To describe the steady state electric field distribution in these structures, a simplified box model is applied. The complex mode structure measured in transmission and photoluminescence is simulated by transfer matrix calculations and a Fourier transform of the internal electric field distribution.
