Light-extraction enhancement and directional emission control of GaN-based LED with transmission grating

We theoretically analyze the improvement in light extraction efficiency (LEE) of GaN-based LEDs with transmission grating. Light propagation and extraction was simulated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for conical, cylindrical, and hemispherical grating. The simulations show that the use of transmission grating leads to increase in the LEE of GaN-based LEDs. The enhancement in LEE is attributed to the decrease in the Fresnel reflection and the effective increase in the photon escape cone. The maximum LEE enhancement of 2.3 times was achieved by employing hemispherical grating. The directional emission pattern converged by employing conical grating.

Light extraction enhancement of GaN-based LEDs through passive/active photon recycling

In this paper, we present a study of light extraction of GaN-based LEDs through active/passive photon recycling, including sapphire-based and Thin-GaN based on Monte Carlo ray tracing. The mechanisms in enhancing light extraction incorporated with implanting micro pyramid (lens) array and lens encapsulation of both cavity photon recycling and quantum photon recycling are discussed. For an absorption coefficient of 200 cm^− 1 in the active layer, both approaches perform more than 90% of light extraction efficiency through cavity photon recycling. For a heavy absorbed active layer, the quantum photon recycling could play an important role in light extraction.     

Internal quantum efficiency drop induced by the heat generation inside of light emitting diodes （LEDs）

The reasons for low output power of AlGaInP Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have been analysed. LEDs with AlGaInP material have high internal but low external quantum efficiency and much heat generated inside especially at a large injected current which would reduce both the internal and external quantum efficiencies. Two kinds of LEDs with the same active region but different window layers have been fabricated. The new window layer composed of textured 0.5 μm GaP and thin Indium-Tin-Oxide film has shown that low external quantum efficiency (EQE) has serious impaction on the internal quantum efficiency (IQE), because the carrier distribution will change with the body temperature increasing due to the heat inside, and the test results have shown the evidence of LEDs with lower output power and bigger wavelength red shift.     

Surface modification of indium tin oxide anode with self-assembled monolayer modified Ag film for improved OLED device characteristics

Modification of electrodes has attracted much attention in the study of organic semiconductor devices. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-fluorothiophenol is employed to modify the Ag film on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO) to improve the hole injection and the surface morphology. The modified anode was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM), and UV–vis transmittance spectra. To investigate the effect of the modification on the device characteristics, typical double layer devices with the structure of anode/-naphthylphenylbiphenyl diamine (NPB, 60 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃, 60 nm)/LiF(0.7 nm)/Al(100 nm) were fabricated using the modified anode and the bare ITO. The effect of Ag layer thickness on the device performance is also investigated. The results revealed that SAM modified ultra-thin Ag film is an effective buffer layer for organic light emitting diode. The device using the ITO/Ag (5 nm)/SAM as anode show improved device characteristics than that of using bare ITO as anode. The enhancements in luminance and efficiency are attributed to enhanced hole injection and smooth surface between anode and the organic material. The Ag thickness of 5 nm is chosen as an acceptable compromise between substrate transparency and the device performance.     

LEDs and photodetectors for wavelength-division-multiplexed light-wave systems

The very wide transmission window, from 0.8 to 1.6 μm wavelength, in present low-loss optical fibres offers opportunities for wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) in light-wave systems. This paper reviews light emitting diode (LED) light sources and photodetectors capable of meeting the power (distance) and bandwidth (bit rate) requirements of such systems. Particular attention will be paid to the new multiplexing dual wavelength LEDs and demultiplexing photodetectors which point a way toward simpler, perhaps more economical, WDM light-wave systems in wide-band loop and inter-office trunking applications.     

Degradation behaviors of high power GaN-based blue light emitting diodes

The degradation mechanism of high power InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes(LEDs)is investigated in this paper.The LED samples were stressed at room temperature under 350-mA injection current for about 400 h.The light output power of the LEDs decreased by 35%during the first 100 h and then remained almost unchanged,and the reverse current at 5 V increased from 10 9A to 10 7A during the aging process.The power law,whose meaning was re-illustrated by the improved rate equation,was used to analyze the light output power-injection current(L–I)curves.The analysis results indicate that nonradiative recombination,Auger recombination,and the third-order term of carriers overflow increase during the aging process,all of which may be important reasons for the degradation of LEDs.Besides,simulating L–I curves with the improved rate equation reveal that higher-than-third-order terms of carriers overflow may not be the main degradation mechanism,because they change slightly when the LED is stressed.
