    Nanocrystal integrated light emitting diodes based on radiative and nonradiative energy transfer for the green gap
    (IEEE, 2009) Nizamoğlu, Sedat; Sarı, Emre; Baek J.-H.; Lee I.-H.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
    Recently the photometric conditions for ultra-efficient solid-state lighting have been discussed [1-2]. These studies show that a luminous efficacy of optical radiation at 408 lm/Wopt and a color rendering index (CRI) of 90 at a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 3000 K are achievable at the same time. For this purpose light emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting in blue, green, yellow, and red colors at 463, 530, 573, and 614 nm with relative optical power levels of 1/8, 2/8, 2/8, and 3/8, are required, respectively [1-2]. Although InxGa1-xN material system is capable to cover the whole visible by changing the In composition (x), it is technically extremely challenging to obtain efficient green/yellow light emitting diodes especially at those wavelengths (i.e., at 530 nm and 573 nm, respectively) due to reduced internal quantum efficiency [2-4]. Furthermore, by using the (Al xGa1-x)1-yInyP quaternary alloy it is also possible to cover from 650 nm to 580 nm. However, the efficiencies significantly decrease towards green. Therefore, there exists a significant gap in the green-yellow spectral regions (known as "the green gap") to make efficient light emitting diodes. To address this green gap problem, we propose and demonstrate proof-of-concept nanocrystal (NCs) hybridized green/yellow light emitting diodes that rely on both radiative energy transfer and nonradiative energy transfer (i.e., FRET-Förster resonance energy transfer) for color conversion on near-ultraviolet (near-UV) LEDs.

    Warm-white light-emitting diodes integrated with colloidal quantum dots for high luminous efficacy and color rendering
    (2010) Nizamoglu, S.; Erdem, T.; Sun X.W.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
    Warm-white LEDs (WLEDs) with high spectral quality and efficiency are required for lighting applications, but current experimental performances are limited. We report on nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) hybridized WLEDs with high performance that exhibit a high luminous efficacy of optical radiation exceeding 350 lm/Wopt and a high color rendering index close to 90 at a low correlated color temperature <3000 K. These spectrally engineered WLEDs are obtained using a combination of CdSe/ZnS core/shell NQD nanophosphors integrated on blue InGaN/GaN LEDs. © 2010 Optical Society of America.

    Warm-White light-Emitting diodes integrated with colloidal quantum dots for high luminous efficacy and color rendering: Reply to comment
    (2011) Nizamoglu, S.; Erdem, T.; Sun X.W.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan
    The correlated color temperatures and the corresponding color rendering indices calculated using actual experimental data (and not any prediction) in the original Letter [Opt. Lett. 35, 3372 (2010)] are correct. In addition, here the color rendering of our white LEDs integrated with nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) is provided for all test samples. Also, a new NQD-LED design with both high luminous efficacy of optical radiation and CRI is presented to have a chromaticity point in the quadrangle stated in the comment Letter [Opt. Lett. 36, 2851 (2011)]. The points made in the original Letter and all the calculation results provided therein are valid. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
