Optimal design of green InGaN/GaN LEDs mediated by surface-plasmon gratings
چکیده انگلیسی


• Searching for an optimal design of ‘green’ surface-plamon mediated GaN LEDs.
• Enhanced internal quantum efficiency (>2 times) with increased couplings into surface plasmon modes.
• Narrow radiation pattern for a high extraction efficiency of photons out of the device.
• 6-fold improvement in the total external quantum efficiency of InGaN/GaN LEDs in the green spectral range.
• Technical issues for realizing the theoretically suggested LED design.

We propose an optimal design for enhancing the external quantum efficiency of InGaN/GaN LEDs operating in the green spectral region, by mediating surface plasmons (SP), showing that there is plenty of potential for additional improvement in this area. Coupling the spontaneous emission from quantum wells into SP modes on metallic grating structures could enhance the internal quantum efficiency of conventional LEDs by more than twofold, and the relatively long propagating length of SPs in the green region could allow a narrow radiating angle and thus yield a threefold improvement in the extraction efficiency of radiation. Thus, our design enhances external quantum efficiency by about sixfold overall, offering a practically attainable method to realize highly efficient green SP-LEDs.
