Design and Modeling for Enhancement of Light Extraction in Light-emitting Diodes with Archimedean Lattice Photonic Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light extraction efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on various photonic crystal (PhC) structures is investigated in this study. By using the plane wave method and the finite element method, the influence of several factors on the enhancement of light extraction is discussed, including lattice type, the density of states from a photonic band diagram, the ratio of cylinder radius and lattice constant, and the thickness of a PHC pattern. Some rules are given for the practical implementation of an optimized PhC-based LED with higher light extraction efficiency. In the simulation results, the maximum enhancement of the extraction efficiency could be by a factor of approximately 2.8 for the optimized Archimedean tiling pattern in the LED device emitting at the center wavelength of 530 nm. However, with the use of optimized PhC structures, the square and triangular lattices reveal enhancements of ∼ 1.7 and ∼ 1.5, respectively. The extraction efficiency of the Archimedean PhC LED is much greater than that of the regular lattice PhC LED.

Spontaneous Emission Extraction and Purcell Enhancement from Thin-Film 2-D Photonic Crystals
Electromagnetic band structure can produce either an enhancement or a suppression of spontaneous emission from two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal thin films. We believe that such effects might be important for light emitting diodes. Our experiments were based on thin-film InGaAs/InP 2-D photonic crystals at ambient temperature, but the concepts would apply equally to InGaN thin films, for e...

Far-field of GaN film-transferred green light-emitting diodes with two-dimensional photonic crystals.
Far-field distributions of GaN-based photonic crystal (PhC) film-transferred light-emitting diodes (FT-LEDs) were investigated. The thickness of the device is about 840 nm. The emission wavelength is around 520 nm. The PhC region is a square lattice with a/lambda around 0.5. Angular-resolved measurements in the Gamma-X and Gamma-M directions were made in the polarized-resolved manner. Guided mo...
