研究目的
Investigating the use of photonic crystal structures to enhance both the light extraction efficiency and modulation bandwidth of flip-chip GaN-based LEDs for high-frequency visible light communication applications.
研究成果
The PC-FCLED demonstrated significant enhancement in both the Purcell factor and light extraction efficiency compared to conventional FCLEDs, achieving a modulation bandwidth of up to 285 MHz at high current densities. This indicates the potential of PC-FCLEDs for high-frequency visible light communication applications.
研究不足
The study notes that the optical output power of PC-FCLED is smaller than that of FCLED due to the reduced effective light emitting area and damage from the ICP procedure, which affects carrier recombination efficiency. Additionally, the increase in defect density from the ICP process reduces radiative efficiency and nonradiative lifetime, impacting modulation bandwidth and optical output power.
