Optical investigations at the stop‐band of semiconductor microcavities are presented. The observed polarization dependent splitting of the resonator mode is due to an effective anisotropy. The measured spectral shift of the resonator mode as function of the angle of incidence is used to determine the refractive index of the cavity. The experimental results on AlGaAs samples are compared with calculations using the transfer‐matrix method.
