The intrinsic radiation angular spectrum of modes confined in planar photonics crystal cavities as well as its modifications depending on the environment are inferred via a transfer matrix modeling and k-space imaging.2-Dimensional Photonic CrystalEnhanced Spontaneous EmissionLine-DefectMicrocavityDevicestext::journal::journal article::research article
