摘要
We demonstrate enhancement of surface light extraction from two-dimensional photonic crystals (2D-PCs) on the electrical injected GaN-based light emitters. The effects of symmetry of PCs on light extraction were studied. 2.5 times enhancement of surface emission was obtained from the PCs with an octagonal symmetric quasicrystal lattice (8PQC) compared to that from a nonpatterned region. Additionally the surface emission from PCs with dodecagonal symmetric quasicrystal lattice (12PQC) exhibited about 1.7 and 1.4 times higher emission than regular PCs with triangular lattice and 8PQC, respectively. Consequently, the 12PQC provides a favorable consideration of 2D-PC in light extraction from light emitting diode. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
