摘要: We report direct evidence of enhanced spontaneous emission in a photonic-crystal (PhC) light-emitting diode. The device consists p-i-n heterojunction embedded suspended membrane, comprising layer self-assembled quantum dots. Current is injected laterally from the periphery to center PhC. A well-isolated peak at 1.3μm PhC cavity mode observed, and enhancement rate clearly evidenced by time-resolved electroluminescence measurements, showing that our diode switches off time shorter than bulk radiative nonradiative lifetimes.
