Improving the Efficiency of Transverse Magnetic Polarized Emission from AlGaN Based LEDs by Using Nanowire Photonic Crystal by Xianhe Liu, Kishwar Mashooq, Thomas Szkopek, Zetian Mi

“…In this paper, we have performed detailed studies of the EQE of AlGaN nanowire photonic crystal LEDs in this wavelength range by finite-difference time-domain simulation. By coupling in-plane emission to vertical emission, light-extraction efficiency (LEE) over 90&#x0025; can, in principle, be expected from the device top surface for transverse magnetic polarized photons that was not previously possible in conventional planar quantum well devices. …”
