Item Open Access Enhanced optical characteristics of light emitting diodes by surface plasmon of Ag nanostructures(SPIE, 2011) Jang L.-W.; Ju J.-W.; Jeon J.-W.; Jeon, D.-W.; Choi J.-H.; Lee, S.-J.; Jeon, S.-R.; Baek J.-H.; Sarı, Emre; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Yoon H.-D.; Hwang, S.-M.; Lee I.-H.We investigated the surface plasmon coupling behavior in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells at 460 nm by employing Ag nanostructures on the top of a roughened p-type GaN. After the growth of a blue light emitting diode structure, the p-GaN layer was roughened by inductive coupled plasma etching and the Ag nanostructures were formed on it. This structure showed a drastic enhancement in photoluminescence and electroluminescence intensity and the degree of enhancement was found to depend on the morphology of Ag nanostructures. From the time-resolved photoluminescence measurement a faster decay rate for the Ag-coated structure was observed. The calculated Purcell enhancement factor indicated that the improved luminescence intensity was attributed to the energy transfer from electron-hole pair recombination in the quantum well to electron vibrations of surface plasmon at the Ag-coated surface of the roughened p-GaN. © 2011 SPIE.Item Open Access Excitonic improvement of colloidal nanocrystals in salt powder matrix for quality lighting and color enrichment(OSA - The Optical Society, 2016) Erdem, T.; Soran-Erdem, Z.; Kelestemur, Y.; Gaponik, N.; Demir, Hilmi VolkanHere we report excitonic improvement in color-converting colloidal nanocrystal powders enabled by co-integrating nonpolar greenand red-emitting nanocrystal energy transfer pairs into a single LiCl salt matrix. This leads to nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) between the cointegrated nanocrystals in the host matrix. Here we systematically studied the resulting NRET process by varying donor and acceptor concentrations in the powders. We observed that NRET is a strong function of both of the nanocrystal concentrations and that NRET efficiency increases with increasing acceptor concentration. Nevertheless, with increasing donor concentration in the powders, NRET efficiency was found to first increase (up to a maximum level of 53.9%) but then to decrease. As a device demonstrator, we employed these NRET-improved nanocrystal powders as color-converters on blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with the resulting hybrid LED exhibiting a luminous efficiency >70 lm/Welect . The proposed excitonic nanocrystal powders potentially hold great promise for quality lighting and color enrichment applications.
