Abstract
We analyze a microdisk resonator of sub-micrometer radius where confinement
is obtained in a vertical sandwich characterized by a central slot of lower
refractive index material. The properties of the antiguiding even modes characterized
by TM fields peaked in the slot are analyzed with specific reference to the
resonant wavelengths, the quality factor, the mode confinement properties,
and the Purcell factor. It is shown, by means of a comparative analysis, that,
for a small disk radius a full vectorial approach is required in order to
properly account for the hybrid nature of the modes. This reflects on the
dependence of such figures of merit upon geometrical parameters of the structure.
