摘要: We report a dramatic increase in the photoluminescence (PL) emitted from InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QW), obtained by covering these sample surface with thin metallic films. Remarkable enhancements of PL peak intensities were In 0.3 Ga 0.7 N QWs 50 nm thick silver and aluminum coating 10 GaN spacer. These can be attributed to strong interaction between plasmons (SPs). No such samples coated gold, as its well-known plasmon resonance occurs only at longer wavelengths. also showed that QW-SP coupling internal efficiencies measuring temperature dependence intensities. is very promising method for developing super bright light emitting diodes (LEDs). Moreover, we found metal nano-structure important facto decide extraction. A possible mechanism emission enhancement has been developed, high-speed efficient predicted optically well electrically pumped emitters.
