Probing Purcell enhancement and photon collection efficiency of InAs quantum dots at nodes of the cavity electric field: data

Data from a study of how key metrics such as Purcell factor, β-factor and collection efficiency are determined by the non-cavity modes which exist in real devices, taking the well-studied micropillar cavity as an example. The pillars studied consist of 17(26) upper (lower) GaAs/AlGaAs DBRs containing InAs quantum dots.
