We evaluate the enhancement of Er luminescence coupled to two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) nanocavities by means of photoluminescence measurements and numerical simulations. L3 PC nanocavities are utilized for characterization and evaluation, with GaAs:Er,O grown by low-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy as the active layer. Optical characterization at room temperature demonstrates a 5.8-fold enhancement of Er luminescence due to coupling to the cavity mode of the 2D-PC nanocavities. This enhancement of Er luminescence is supported by a finite-difference time domain simulation where an enhancement of 4.1 times is found, which is in reasonable agreement with the observed experimental results. These results pave the way toward understanding the interaction between cavity modes in PC nanocavities and luminescence from rare-earth elements.
