We report on the realization of hybrid systems composed of passive optical microdisk resonators prepared from epitaxial layer systems and nanocrystal quantum emitters synthesized by colloidal chemistry. The AlInP disk material allows for the operation in the visible range, as probed by CdSe-based nanocrystals. Photoluminescence spectra at room temperature reveal sets of whispering-gallery modes consistent with finite-difference time-domain simulations. In the experiments, a special sample geometry renders it possible to detect resonant optical modes perpendicular to the disk plane.
