Abstract: Photonic crystal can increase light matter interactions and light emission efficiency, and has found extensive application in the fields of nano/micro-optics, quantum optics and information optics, etc. The luminescent enhancement effect of two-dimensional silicon-based photonic crystal microcavities have made significant breakthroughs in recent years. The current preparation method of the two-dimensional photonic crystals and microcavities and the control of their luminescence properties have been discussed. The preparation process of two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity and the influence of temperature, pump energy and microcavity structure on Q-factor and luminescence properties of microcavity are introduced in detail. Depicts the regulation mechanism of nanocavity structure to luminescence properties of silicon materials, and discusses the problems and prospects of this field.
