It is based on light induced oxidation in air atmosphere with very low thermal budget which produces a local reduction of the GaAs membrane effective thickness and a large blueshift of the nanocavity modes. It is also shown that green light is much more efficient in inducing the micro-oxidation with respect to near infrared light. The observed behaviour is attributed to oxide growth promoted by photoenhanced reactivity. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
