Wide‐wavelength tunability, from the blue to the near‐infrared spectral regions, and spectrally narrow emission are achieved by embedding a silicon‐rich oxide thin film in an optical microcavity structure. The low processing temperatures for these devices suggest compatibility with complementary metal oxide semiconductor fabrication techniques, indicating the potential of this material for integrated optoelectronic applications.
