Modeling of light extraction efficiency of scattering thin film using Mie scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Significant amount of emitted light from an organic light emitting diode (OLED) is trapped as a result of total internal reflection (TIR) on a glass–air interface. One of the strategies to increase the light extraction efficiency is using a scattering thin film. A model is built using the Monte Carlo ray tracing method to simulate Mie scattering. Almost 100% of light trapped by the TIR can be extracted if the radius of the spherical scatters, the refractive index ratio between the matrix and the scatter and the concentration of the scatter are optimized. The implication is important for a high efficiency OLED used in the next generation lighting source.

Objectives: In this article, a new procedure for increasing the light penetration depth in a tissue is studied and simulated. It has been reported that the most important problem in biomedical optical imaging relates to the light penetration depth, and so this makes a dramatic restriction on its applications. In the optical imaging method, the detection of the backscattered pho...

We provide the in-depth characterization of light-polymer nanowire interactions in the context of an effective Mie scattering regime associated with low refractive index materials. Properties of this regime sharply contrast with these of resonant Mie scattering, and involve the formation of strictly forward-scattered and coupling-free optical fields in the vicinity of core-shell polymer nanowir...
متن کاملLight extraction from optically pumped light-emitting diode by thin-slab photonic crystals
We describe a promising thin-slab light-emitting diode ~LED! design, which uses a highly efficient coherent external scattering of trapped light by a two-dimensional ~2D! photonic crystal. The light generation region was an unpatterned heterostructure surrounded by the light extraction region, a thin film patterned as a 2D photonic crystal. A six-fold photoluminescence enhancement was observed ...
