Abstract

Organic Metal microcavities were fabricated by using full-reflectivity metal film and semi-transparent metal film as cavity mirrors. Compared with the conventional organic microcavity, the typical structure of which is Glass/DBR/organic layers/metal mirror, a short cavity-length microcavity can be obtained by using metal mirrors. Red, green and blue (RGB) emissions of the microcavities were realized under photoexcitation due to the change of the thickness of the Alq3 layer. The measured microcavity emission spectra were shown to be roughly in agreement with the theoretical calculation spectra using the characteristic matrix method. The results implied that organic metal microcavity has some advantages in realizing the pure single mode RGB emission.
