This thesis investigates GaAs photonic crystal nanostructures, such as cavities and waveguides with incorporated InGaAs quantum dots. We study weak light matter interaction in photonic crystal waveguides, disorder effects on slow light, transfer of cavity-pumped quantum dot emission into a proximal waveguide, and the control of photon tunnelling in a pair of two L3 point defects. Moreover, the thesis contains the development of a sophisticated fabrication process to reproducibly fabricate active high quality photonic crystal resonators in a III-V semiconductor matrix.
