Microcavity light emitting diodes as efficient planar light emitters for telecommunication applications

Abstract: Light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be coupled to optical fibers and used in telecommunication applications. Compared to laser diodes, the coupling is usually small, due to the isotropic emission of the source, combined with the large refractive index difference between the semiconductor and the outside medium. However, it is possible to greatly enhance the optical extraction of a planar LED by placing the source inside a microcavity which optical thickness is close to the wavelength of the emitted light. Some el… Show more

“…When putting emitting materials in a microcavity, spontaneous emission properties of the materials, such as decay rate, emission intensity, color, and radiation pattern, etc. can be significantly modified [9,10]. Furthermore, due to a small cavity volume, there are only finite cavity modes in the gain cavity, so the coupling efficiency of spontaneous emission into the lasing mode is greatly enhanced.…”
