摘要
We report on the fabrication and study of laser lift-off GaN-based light-emitting diodes, thinned down to the microcavity regime, incorporating two-dimensional photonic crystal diffraction gratings. Angle-resolved measurements reveal the photonic behavior of the devices, which strongly depends on the GaN thickness. Data point out the detrimental role of metal absorption. We explore theoretically the possibility to limit this loss channel. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
