Resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes: quantum noise and spatial emission characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the interplay between the intensity noise and the spatial emission characteristics of resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes. First, we find that the total aperture intensity noise exhibits a sub-shot noise behavior in a quite large pumping regime. Second, we investigate the angular, spectral, and spatial emission characteristics of the devices by controlling the shape and width of the angular intensity distribution via temperature detuning of the quantum well wavelength and the cavity resonance wavelength. Finally, the angular and aperture resolved intensity noise exhibit a super-shot noise behavior in contrast to that of the total emission. We explain this difference with anticorrelations between various radial components which increase with the temperature-tuned extension of the spatial emission. PACS 85.60.Jb; 42.50.L; 23.20.En

Spatially correlated light emission from a resonant-cavity light-emitting diode.
We present the angular-resolved intensity noise characteristics of a resonant-cavity light-emitting diode under quiet pumping conditions. Measurements by a sensitivity-enhanced lock-in amplifier detection scheme yielded a spatial anticorrelation between the intensity noise of the central and peripheral parts of the emitted far field. Proposals for possible explanations of this anticorrelation f...
متن کاملResonant cavity light-emitting diode
A novel concept of a light-emitting diode (LED) is proposed and demonstrated in which the active region of the device is placed in a resonant optical cavity. As a consequence, the optical emission from the active region is restricted to the modes of the cavity. Resonant cavity light-emitting diodes (RCLED) have higher spectral purity and higher emission intensity as compared to conventional lig...
متن کاملQuantum Maxwell-Bloch equations for spatially inhomogeneous semiconductor lasers
We present quantum Maxwell-Bloch equations ~QMBE! for spatially inhomogeneous semiconductor laser devices. The QMBE are derived from fully quantum mechanical operator dynamics describing the interaction of the light field with the quantum states of the electrons and the holes near the band gap. By taking into account field-field correlations and field-dipole correlations, the QMBE include quant...
متن کاملResonant cavity effect optimization of III-nitride thin-film flip-chip light-emitting diodes with microsphere arrays.
Comprehensive studies were carried out to investigate the light extraction efficiency of thin-film flip-chip (TFFC) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with anatase TiO(2) microsphere arrays by employing the finite-difference time-domain method. The quantum well position and the resonant cavity effect were studied to obtain optimum light extraction for the planar TFFC LED. Further enhancement in light...
