Abstract :
We produced an asymmetric Fabry-Perot microcavity using total reflection, and its optical properties were investigated. The structure is considered to be a total-reflection-type 1-D photonic crystal. An electric-field enhancement of incident light in a defect layer installed inside the photonic crystal was observed by fluorescence emission from dye molecules doped into the defect layer division. We confirmed that the incident light intensity was strengthened by about 63 times in the defect layer
